Which Engine would you prefer... MAN V12 1360 or CAT C32

Curious what engine you guys and gals would prefer for a Sporty between the V12 1360 MAN and Cat C32. I am familiar with the MAN engines of this engine and for some odd reason the big CAT just seems overkill in the 52 to 54 foot boats I am seeing them in where as the MAN seems a much better fit in boats that size. The CAT lineup has a pretty big jump between the C18 and C32. There are a number of things I like about the Cat C18 and C32 in the right size boat.
From a cost of ownership and ease of maintenance given that both engines have been around for quite some time which would you prefer.

I am still leaning MAN but am curious what others would choose. 2006 to 2010 vintage.

To get that cooling system dont you need to find the prior generation engine of early 2000's vintage 3412E

I agree the C32 is perfect for a 60. I am targeting that smaller 3 stateroom Convertible in the 48 to 54 size. I like a comfortable 28 to 30 knot cruise. Seems this is pushing it for the C18 and obviously is hardly working the C32 but then the engine room is crazy tight.

Budget keeps me from getting into the 1150 Cats or 1550 MAN's. Looking at boats in that 700k to 900k range.

Cat would be industrial machinery dealer that knows the engines and parts can be sourced very easily but in my experience on previous boat not as experienced with marine service compared to MAN dealer which that is all they do.

MAN dealer I have great relationship with and they are 23 miles from my marina. The service manager is incredibly knowledgeable about MAN engines and I believe he may have been born at the factory.

I agree but the high prices for parts is somewhat of an aggravation although I do believe they have impressive engineering resulting in long life if properly maintained.

Yes there is only one MAN shop in Seattle but they also happen to be the West Coast Distributor for MAN and aside from MAN parts being costly they have been great to work with and I feel fortunate to have such a strong MAN dealer while small close by.

I am not against a C18 by any stretch but the boats I am looking at are hard to find with C18's. The C32's just overwhelm me for a number of reasons. Some of the 2007 to 2009 boats I really like have them as their primary power source. If I was shopping 60 footers I would feel differently but that is just not the size I am targeting.

Ironic timing. TBD if this ends up being a positive or not for the owner operator like myself. I have had fantastic support from RDI the last 4 years of ownership.

48 to 54 feet Cabo, Viking, Hatteras.

Just trying to find the right boat.
