You may want to consider the martinized Kubota diesel marketed by Beta Marine just down the river from us in Arapahoe, NC. Lots of nice maintenance features. The Beta 28 would probably be most appropriate for the C320.?

Having said that, I do agree with the other posters that suggest many buyers will be looking for the Yanmar in your boat and that having it will support the highest possible resale value.?
