Edd Talk to your loft to get quotes on a new main and #1.
Then talk to your engine guys. I suspect the brand new engine will be less than the price of a main and #1. How many times have you purchased new sails for the performance upgrade? It seems odd that we will gladly replace 8 year old (or newer) sails at a large expense as part of a boat’s operating cost but begrudge spending money on our favourite sail (Yanmar) Mike Persistence 3GM30F From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Edd Schillay via CnC-List Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2015 5:25 PM To: C&C List Cc: Edd Schillay Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C 37+ Repower -- Ugh 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<http://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.

It was a perfect match as well and all-in it was about $10K including install, etc. I bring it up only because your 37 is probably not much more displaement than my 36 and the Beta 25 gets mine to hull speed in any coastal weather I would care to be in! You might at least run that by the Beta guru, who I agree is excellent. Charlie Nelson Water Phantom cenel...@aol.com<mailto:cenel...@aol.com>
