$5600 for a Brand New Chinese 260 HP Marine Diesel Engine !

That's something I'd be interested in if I was a Diesel Mechanic . What are American Engines selling For ? This Chinese Engine is a Cummins knock off. They even build Lobster Boats, saw a 45 footer for $150,000.

When I was a kid, I recall the old folk story titled "Alibaba and the 40 Thieves"!

How many knockoff Cummins will you have to buy in order to match the lifespan of a real Cummins?

Penny wise and dollar foolish!

The last thing a diesel mechanic wants to do is sit at the dock fixing the engine on his toy. He'd rather rebuild an older model.

At some point you'll realize the Chinese are not very good engineers. Open up one of those engines and you'll see why.
