I have experienced a catastrophic failure of my port Cat 3208 435hp engine.  Although the starboard is in great running shape, I am being told a rebuild of the damaged engine is not a good option.

I am exploring re-powering my boat and understand that the replacement from Caterpillar is the C7.1 model which comes in a 400mhp, 450mhp and 500mhp version.  Is anyone familiar with other manufacturers that  have a model that will work with the 4000 Express?

For those who are curious, the internal fuel injector tip broke off inside the engine filling it with diesel creating a run away situation and causing damage to the push rods etc.
