If you can afford the extra cost of diesel I'd do it. If you look at it purely cost wise, it is difficult to make the diesel upgrade pencil, however the handling around the dock, efficiency, reliability and safety (possibility of accident due to gas fumes etc) IMHO don't compare. Having owned both gas and diesel boats, if I were to have to go back to gas in anything except a center console with outboards, I'd likely get out of boating.
