I have heard of 1 or 2 but I haven't heard from anyone that has completed one.

There are some really compact powerful European Diesels around and I would love to do one.

That looks like a nice popular Diesel. I would say go for it.

i was mistaken it puts out 105 hp at 2300rpm and 265 ft at 1600 rpm it wieghs almost 800 lbs and is 37" tall i think that is were ill have the problem is the hood height, but it would move that B2 and pull my boats around with some easy mods im pretty sure it can hit the 300hp mark and still get great fuel milage
