Not sure how stable the boat would be at 7-8 kts after removing 16K lbs from low in the hull. Making a SF into a trawler is a bad idea unless you plan on filing the ER with lead.
    Pull the motors and replace with 50 HP sailboat motors that burn .25 gph.

    Add a lead keel cap. Ballast and Xtra water tanks. Then you cruise it at 4 to 6 kts and live off the inverter for months at a time. No need for ac. Hand pump fresh water and head. Look at all the money you'll save.

    Why not hoist a sail from the outriggers? Either fix it properly or let some else do it right. If you want a trawler buy a trawler.

    I didn't know these had 16-92s. Did I read that right?

    3406Es sound like a good bet. Enough power, use less fuel, and easier to work around. You might even get something for the remaining working engine and the broken one as a core.

    Be real Jack. Outriggers are not strong enough to hold sails. I can't believe some of the hair brain schemes people post here.

    3406s are way too small for that boat. It's a huge 58.

    Buy the boat for 40 sell the 50k worth of parts for 25 sell the good engine and genny for 30 sell the hull for 10 and come out 25k ahead.

    You're right. I wasn't looking closely. For some reason I thought it was a 48C. 58s had 12-92s, or 16-92s as an option. 3406s would make her a trawler.

    She's on eBay now, 4 days remaining. Seller has removed the reserve and current bid is $45,100.
    if the description is true, the boat is essentially free. Sure looks too good to be true.
