BOWMAN 26 SLOOP

[MIKE_MCKIE]

THE BOAT HAS THE ORIGINAL SABB DIESEL + FULLY FEATHERING PROP, WHICH AFTER 32 YEARS IS SHOWING ITS AGE. CHOICE OF EITHER FULL ENGINE & PROP OUT & BACK TO SABB AGENTS IN PLYMSTOCK FOR REBUILD OR RE-ENGINE WITH SOMETHING LIKE NEW 10HP, 2 CYL DIESEL + EITHER FIXED OR FOLDING PROP.
HAS ANYONE RE-ENGINED A BOWMAN 26 & IF SO, WHAT WITH/ANY PROBLEMS ETC. ANY ADVICE GRATEFULLY RECEIVED.

Last one i sailed had a small Yanmar 1GM10. pushed her along well and didn't seem too cramped.
