Ok well, I guess it is adequate then. I just tend to see 40 hp engines in most 40 footers.
Maybe not be the ideal and will be a bargaining point if it comes to that. Bigger is better in this instance I think... Thanks for the insights guys!

Originally it was powered by an 18 hp Universal that netted 16.

A 35 hp diesel in a 37+ seems adequate to me. Rob Abbott AZURA C&C 32 - 84 Halifax, N.S.
