Cummins 3.3

Has anyone tryed the Cummins 3.3 diesel 4 cylinder, Merc cruiser unit? We are thinking about one for a 34' pontoon houseboat. It is rated at 120 hp at 4200 rpm. What's you imput on this?

I've installed 3-4 in our 6-7metre boats, and they work fine no pbs.What we needed was a light fast diesel with an outdrive. I would think however for a houseboat which needs torque, big prop, 3000rpm max, etc., this wouldn't be a good choice.
