Thats a neat website. I wonder what that diesel outboard (CIMCO Marine OXE diesel outboard) will be like. With the price of diesel fuel at Marinas around here it may catch on, unless of course it's outrageously priced. Also, the 200hp may sink my boat it says 340kg and if google computed that right its 750lbs, almost twice the weight of my current 200hp. Neat site though
 
Observation1: Diesels are cool.
Observation2: Diesels are very heavy.

Can they be viable as an outboard motor?
I have my reservations.

I agree, but... There are a lot of small single engine aircraft now flying with diesel engines. If they can make them practical in aircraft they can make them practical in boats.
