Yes...in long block form typically. What are you looking for? 454 or 502?

Yanmar is a hot pick, our 32 Stamas also 11,000lbs burns 16gph at cruise of near 30 knots with the 240's. This was told to me by Yanmar and then I checked myself after a 90 mile run they were spot on with 16. I am very impressed with the Yanmars, I have sold and sea trialed quite a few over the last few years.

454's in a 31 burn over 20gph usually nearer 25gph. That is a lot of Jingle!
