I always liked these boats. The Toyota engine is supposed to use half the gas of a push-rod V8. I always wondered about the starters, alternators, etc. It's fuel injected and most of the other parts are the same as what they put in the cars. That being said, your failure rate for the starters would probably be very low compared to what we see with these Mexico rebuilt units we all put in our boats.
