Petrol/gas or diesel

Hi, looking at buying a 2700SE which is better to go for the petrol or diesel model?

Is their much difference in power, speed etc

Is their much difference in fuel economy

Thanks

Depends on what sort of boating you are going to do and also the availability of petrol,the diesels tend to be a bit more economical plus the cost of diesel in the uk is lower(red diesel thing) but the initial cost of a diesel will be about £10k higher you can buy a lot of petrol for that.
