All;Used to have hull 303?, "Emotional Rescue". Before I became boat manager for her, thru the club Sail Chicago, she had an Atomic 4 engine. The club changed the engine to an Universal Westerbeke.
Our club, Sail Chicago, is considering buying a Catalina 30 that has an Atomic 4 engine; our 2 other cruisers both have diesels.
What are the pros and cons of a gasoline Atomic 4?   Gordo, I believe that you and I had a written discussion on this subject about the same time you told me about your docent friend, Al Sorkin, on the  "Surprise" in San Diego.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me. I must admit, I am reluctant to vote yes on this purchase.
