Newbie,
You must also consider engine durability - those diesels will be running long after those gas engines give up the ghost. Safety - I would rather not have hundreds of gallons of gas on board, with its much higher flash point, and economy - the diesel will outperform any given gas engine in an equal environment - but you have to compare apples to apples, not trawlers to cruisers. I would also think that resale value of vessel equipped with diesels that have been properly maintained will be higher than a similar vessel equiped with gas engines.
