I'm also a great fan of Beta Marine because they use the Kubota engine
as a base. Other then being able to fit it in the old engine beds it
also has the advantage that you can go to a Kubota dealer anywhere and
get spare parts for less than half of the marinized prices. Though I
don't have a Beta engine yet since my Universal M3-20 (also turned out
to be a Kubota) is still running strong. I did a complete overhaul
with Kubota engine parts after it was immersed in fresh water when I
bought the boat. For example: A single injector priced at Torresen was
$291.94 compared to $96.00 at the local Kubota dealer!
