Atomic 4s once WERE the standard engine, worked well, and knowledgeable mechanics for it easy to find.

Then the engines started getting old and both parts plus knowledge were hard to find. These were the dark days of the A4 when all a marine mechanic would do with one is replace it with a diesel. Your choices were essentially an old poorly maintained A4 or a newish diesel.

Now thanks largely to Moyer with an able assist from Indigo, parts and knowledge exist again. On top of that, a lot of diesels are now old enough to be on their last legs and some of them are totally unsupported.
