you've seen the engine! thats a perfect description... it looks like it will be expensive either way... thanks for your opinion . i may try an outboard for a while -

i really don't like gas on a boat . the fumes seem to make any enclosed space a potential bomb... diesel dosnt smell as bad (to me) and dosn't have such a low flashpoint. thats my main reason for changing plus the fact that the current gas engine is pretty trashed...

thanks for the list url... i will stop by gate five and see what they say abt repowering for me and if he sells second hand or rebuilt engines . i dont thimk i can afford a new yanmar!

Tom List Thanks for your input Guy. How do i go about contacting mr. List? where is he located? is he an online presence?

i am looking at an 1968 Ericson 32 that is in good shape except for the engine/trans which are orig. (gas) trashed and need to be replaced. i would like to have a rebuilt diesel and matching tranni installed. can anyone offer me suggestions on doing this...best engine (pent,yammer or?) for this...
