    Both are great engines. Man's will be faster, quieter, and a touch more fuel efficient. Cat's more low end torque, simpler motor, but have to change the aftercoolers every 6 years.

    Also consider availability of service and parts in your area.

    OP. I see both boats still listed on YW. What were your findings. Both boats at current prices are an incredible value.
