<DIV><SPAN class=370280716-06012003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
a Yanmar diesel in PEREGRINE, which has horsepower in the low teens (it's a
3GMF, I seem to recall). It will kick the boat along on the Chesapeake in
calm to moderate winds at 6 knots. In a serious head-on blow that
obviously goes down a good bit, but in ten years I have yet to encounter
anything that stopped me completely. The worst has not been wind
but rather a fast tide through the bridge at Kent Narrows (in MD) but that
just requires attention, care and patience.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=370280716-06012003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>But
bear in mind that no used boat (and probably no new one either) will be ideal in
all respects. A bigger engine may be better, but that should simply be
weighed against all of the other strengths and weaknesses in each boat, and your
priorities for features.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=268350100-03012003>I am interested in
purchasing an A30 at somempoint in time and presently have several to look
at. One of them is a '75 with a bukh 10hp diesel engine. >From
my reading it appears that this engine is somewhat underpowered for the boat
and difficult to get parts for. Could those of you who have this engine
or who have had one in the past please give me some of your opinions about
it. I don't really want to spend the money to repower the boat. Should I
still consider this boat (all other things being equal)?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
