I recently acquired an E-35-2 and have been experiencing some problems with my engine. The undocumented engine hours are less than 500 on a 1999 Atomic 4 diesel. Should I be facing a large $$ cost for repair, I would appreciate any thoughts or comments regarding the possibility of re-powering using a 10 - 15 hp long shaft four stroke outboard mounted in a dry well in the transom under the stern seats. I formerly owned a Rhodes 28 (much like thePearson Triton/Ariel, 8000 lb displacement) that had a Yamaha 9.9 in the lazerette on the transom. A google general search revealed a 35' Alden owner who did this with positive results. I don't want to compromise estetics, but the large space in the cabin, the oil in the bilge, the loud noise below, and hassels with repair might justify a different direction.
Don't hold back...
Thanks
