Good for you mate! One of the most daunting tasks any yacht owner has to face.
So how much did ya have to "sink" into her? I've always felt that rebuilding should be less the half the cost of replacement. As long as the engine isn't totally wrecked.
Did you rebuild the trans too while it was out? I bet that engine was a lot easier to get in & out then an Atomic 4 or a Universal 4 cyl. diesel. Our much maligned lil' engines are a lot easier to work on & have great fuel economy. But sometimes I wish I could strap a turbo onto them. My last boat had a lil YSM8 Yanmar that was tough as nails. Cheers.
