Engine make

[theguvnor]

Viewed a nice boat last week that has a single 125 hp Valmet 411.

Never heard of it.

Google says its a sniper rifle, tractor engine or wood saw ??

Sisu is a Finnish maker who now make Valmet ( I think)

Anyone know anything about quality / realiability / desireability / spares availability of a 40ft steel boat with this engine

Any independant info would most helpful

short of messing abt to see if UK agricultural dealers keep matching parts - this may be the best bet.


some history

Valmet and Sisu make forklifts and port equipment such as straddle carriers for containers and both are scandinavian.
