We are looking for an engine to suit a UFO 34 sailing yacht preferably complete with raw water cooling and gearbox, however we are willing to look at some engines without gearboxes or have minor items missing

For a UFO you really only need about a 20-24hp motor.

Unfortunately the costs of marinising an engine from a breakers yard would be more than you've quoted.

At the moment we have a bmc 1.5 35bhp and the power is quite adequate, something 3-4 cylinder, we would prefer a min of around 28 bhp.

Agree with the above, about that being a lot of power. The more power, the heavier the engine - which would slow you, before you start bringing in the size of prop you would need to get that much power into the water - and the cosnsequent prop drag. We had 8.5 tons and 49hp. We never revved above half max rpm - even plugging into F8, so we have downsized a lot. 25hp will be cheaper than 45 too.
