New to diesels...

I am looking at trading up to a Trawler. Currently I have gas engines in my boat. Diesels are new to me. The Trawlers I have looked at have Perkins Diesels of various horse power ratings. Some have turbos. Are there more desireable set ups? Which should be avoided?
How many hours are concidered high on a diesel engine?
All inputs are appreciated.
Thanks
Jim
 
If you have been running gas engines, you will love your Perkins Diesel.
I have been running deisels for 25 years now. Will never go back.

Right now I am running a 4-108 Perkins on a 36 ft Morgan. Love the engine, but having a proablem with the Westerbeke V drive

Could use some input on a rebuild or rebuilding kits for the Gear.
