It would be nice with newer power but if you did repower her with Cummins, you will have spent 100K+ and still have a 85K boat.

Re: Worth a look. 68 41C
well, I was one of those regular heavy weather Haulover Inlet runners (for fun) and would come and go to the Bahamas when it was too rough for LEO to be out, so...”no worries mate”. The space where the engines now sit could be put to good use in “down the rabbit hole” dreams.

Re: Worth a look. 68 41C
Can someone please explain what is so wrong with DD 2 stroke engines other than a bit higher fuel consumption??? When maintained they are extremely reliable. Parts are reasonable. Agree mechanics familiar with them are in short supply. But what EXACTLY is so wrong about them. I have run my 8-92's for over 2500 miles so far and they have not exploded yet!
Will the detonate next time I start??1966 34c

Re: Worth a look. 68 41C
Not even sure the fuel consumption is higher. It takes a certain amount of fuel to unleash a horse power and these engines are no less efficient than any other of comparable technology. And yes they are relatively simple and reliable.
So AFAIK nothing is wrong with them. But opinions are like arm pits. Most people have a few. And if you say green they say blue. Whatever.1978 53' Motor Yacht "LADY KAY V"
