Hi all,

After plaguing us with a long and imaginative list of problems over several 
years our old Atomic 4 has passed on. I'm looking at various engine options.
Right now a rebuilt Atomic from Moyer Marine is the front-runner. Moyer has an 
exchange in which it ships you a rebuilt engine and accepts your old engine in 
the same shipping crate. The whole thing would run about $6,000 Cdn installed. 
We would like to install a Yanmar diesel but the cost seems prohibitive because, 
among other things, the engine beds will have to be altered. I'm looking into 
Beta Marine (Kubota engine), which fits the existing engine bed. Westerbeke also 
apparently fits, though the Alberg site articles on repowering say it is pricey.
My fondest wish would be to replace the whole shebang with an electric engine, 
but in researching these I'm concerned e-engines and the batteries that support 
them aren't where they need to be to provide the power we need for extended 
cruising on Georgian Bay (those lee shores have teeth!). I recall one Alberger 
on the list had made the conversion to electric and I'd be interested to hear 
how it worked out.
So I'd appreciate some sage advice.

Mark Bisset,
Wanderlove
