Can anybody help, I am about to re-engine my Fairline Weekender, I feel a Volvo 4.3 duo prop 190hp will make a good re-placement, for the current "elderly BMW", maybe you could drop me a line if you know of a good firm that could help me. The boat is currently out of the water at Essex marina on the river crouch.

Hi James,

Is that all in.. VAT / Fitting etc?

Thanks.

PS - maybe a silly question... but do you have to have a new fuel tank as well or just get the old one steam cleaned???

VAT Free Diesel?

VAT free, but aren't we going to be set upon by the dreaded VATMAN on return to the mainland?

Mind you, maybe it's a case of 'What he can't see!'.

Re: VAT Free Diesel?

What he dont know aint gonna hurt him. Guernsey gets alot of business from boats which require major work on them or re-engine as saving money on lift in/out and no vat plus some good deals out there.

or you can have the Turbo at £5500.
or have a look at MBM May 2001 Red Duster had a new volvo penta 170HpTurbo engine and out drive DP for £13.523. Hope this may help
ps also look at http://www.castlemarine.co.uk/ for sorting out the propeller calculations.
