best engine for 23' billfisher
Don retrofitted the 200 horse 6 cylinder diesel in my 23' billfisher and I could'nt be happier. It weighs a couple hundred lbs. more than the 350 chevy and the extra weight made it a 100% better boat in a following sea. Therefore I would'nt reccomend anything lighter as in the 4 cyl. Also talked to the Volvo supplier for Blackman and he also confirmed that he thought the 6cyl. would be a better choice especially if you fish in Mexico as I do. Plan on spending at least $25.000. Good luck.
