WEYMOUTH 32 PERKINS HT6.354 to be re-powered

[Wapiti]

Hello. I am Emmanuel, recent owner of a 1971 James&Caddy Weymouth 32 named Wapiti powered by Perkins HT6.354 X2. I am considering re-powering with new modern engines as Yanmar or Volvo 4 cylinders. HT Perkins are horizontaly installed the space is very tight for new engines making the calculations and installation tricky. I am looking for owners or shipyards having already experienced weymoutn 32 re-powering or any help or tips regarding this topic. Thanks.

These engines were used horizontally in Broom 37 Continentals and Crowns. I have heard of them being replaced by Nanni T4 200hp engines as they are a lot smaller.

They have done this to at least one Broom Crown
