Engines with equal HP . . . does not mean they can generate the same twisting force (torque). *That's why you have big *** trucks that tow huges loads with only 290hp diesels..

This is the part of the whole deal that leads me to believe that a/my V20 would get more speed out of a 120hp 195ft lb of torque diesel than 120 hp mercruiser..with the appropriate prop of course. I have no idea what the toque is on the merc. the diesel produces max torque at 2300 rpm and max hp 4400rpm
