[alberg30] Westerbeke/Universal Diesel

[Tom Sutherland]

Peter ... It seems you are quite pleased with your engine. I was
checking the Westerbeke site ... <www.westerbeke.com> ... and was not
able to find a Universal M4-30. They show a M-25X3B which is 26 hp. Is
yours a three or four cyl.?  It might that they are no longer offer your
engine. Do you know what your engine weighs ? ... I appreciate your
contribution.
