[Alberg30] Diesel replacement

[Larry Morris]

I would investigate Westerbeke.  They have a number of engine models that
would work excellant in an Alberg. And remember you are making an investment
in your boat that you will have to live with for the next decade. Don't shop
on price alone, because you get what you pay for.

Subject: [Alberg30] Diesel replacement


In the next year or two my fiancé and I would like to go some distance in
our 1968 Alberg, namely ICW and Abacos.  I currently have an A-tomic four
that works. However I am worried that on a longer trip I would spend too
much time worrying about and fixing my saltwater cooled A4.  When making
short off shore passages I am not one to motor unless things are really
getting tiresome.  But, I find that I have a difficult time convincing other
people on the boat that the right thing to do is wait for the wind.  So I
motor and worry while everyone else is happy to be moving again.  (Now that
I have blamed everyone else) I am looking for a diesel replacement.  I have
interest in the Nanni 3.75HE. 21HP 3 cyl Marine Diesel and the Kubota BZ482
(13.5HP) or BD722 (20 HP).  What engines do you have?  What engine is the
easiest to install in the Alberg A4 mounts?  Is anyone familiar with the
Nanni it seams to be the least expensive.
Thank you,
Matthew #314
