Skip 262 - Volvo Penta vs. Yanmar ?

I'm looking at a couple 262's for sale - One has a 260 hp Yanmar 6LP-DTZE (http://www.yanmarmarine.com/products/uploads/6LPA-DTZP.pdf) w/ a Merc Bravo 3 duoprop, and the other a VP KAD42 w/ duoprop, both low hours.

What would be the preferred engine / outdrive package?

Yanmar is a nice diesel, but I don't like Bravo 3 outdrives. VP Duoprop outdrives are better, but the KAD42 has it's nuances. I own a KAD42 with DP, no experience with Yanmars.

I have a KAD44P-C in my 2002 skip. The thing runs great, never a problem and parts like impellers,belts and filters are available from harry's marine in orange. One note: Change your belts and impeller every year.
