Yes, the newish Ford motor isn't as established as the GM motor… but the GM motor had to start somewhere also.

My final point, anyone who has the coin to buy a brand new tow boat these days, also has the coin to pay to HAVE them repaired, or at least they should. By the time they're 15-20 years old and on the verge of becoming classics… I'm sure the boat mechanic parts-shelf will be full of goodies for them.
All true unless they discontinue the new motor in 1-2 years making parts as rare as moon rocks. There have been a lot of experiments gone bad its always better to stay with the tried and true products and let somebody else be the guinea pig. Especially since the GM 6.2 has a proven track record.
