[Alberg30] VW Diesel Engine

[Villo Marmei]

No offence taken.....engine is not heavy compared to other engines and I am 
serious because I have seen one installed in a 32,27 and a 36 footer. They 
run like precision clocks year after year. ..self bleeding and cheap 
replacement parts.....compared to a Volvo.You need power when sailing and 
motoring in currents of the west coast.
