[Public-List] Water intakes

[Glenn via Public-List]

Wes,  you might scout around for a used Westerbeke diesel or other brand - like Universal.  I've seen good running used engines from time to time for $600 to $1800.  You always have to be careful with used equipment but often they are perfectly fine. Just takes patience and some mechanical checking before you commit...

Regards
Glenn
