ufo 27 engine

[christophe]

I have an ufo27 sailing boat fitted with original inboard engine (petter 8hp).
Because of poor performance of this engine i am looking to change it and to find a second hand engine.
Does anybody has experience with changing engine in an ufo?
Where can I find a good second hand engine (12 to 18 hp) in Belgium, Netherlands or south east UK ?

Thanks

Colleagues have just been to the boat show and bought a brand new engine from Vetus for just over £2000, worth a phone call
