Charlie, The Enterprise’s displacement is 18,500 and Farron at Beta thought that the 30 would be the best fit to get the boat to it’s normal 7+ knots under power with the two-blade prop.
I’m having trouble reconciling the $14,000 price tag (engine, shipping, est. labor), but the idea of a new engine is attractive as well as being back on the water in a couple of weeks. For a rebuild, I think I’m looking at, at best, mid August. I’m trying to hunt down a replacement in a better price range. PS — Thanks to Lister Josh Muckley for a lead at dieselenginetrader.com. Al doesn’t have a M-35 in stock, so I’m looking at 4-6 weeks with him. All the best, Edd Edd M.
