I have a very good friend who's found the boat of his dreams. Unfortunately, the Westerbeke in it has 3800 hours. The boat has been very well cared for, spent its life in fresh water, but, because it's a sought-after Nonsuch, is pretty pricey. This poor guy went through two Perkins in his first boat, and that experience helped push him to go the electric motor route in that situation. His wife wants a boat that's easy to sail and is pushing for the Nonsuch, which he also greatly admires. The boat in question has been in storage (much of it indoors) for several years. Any engine testing will have to be done with it on the hard. My friend REALLY doesn't want another diesel engine fiasco. Any advice/opinions would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
