I saw an ad for a Hunter 27 (1975-84) for sale, listing an Atomic 4 gas engine. I'm guessing this is a mistake, since all posts I've read on this model show Yanmar diesels. Does anyone know if they were ever shipped with Atomic 4's?

Seen stranger things!!

No, but would not put past someone to replace a non-working diesel with an available a-4. I bet you the boat motors a lot better, but would not want the maintenance, problems and hazards associated with a gas engine.

Mike,

THe onlt hope for Renault pars in this country is used. There nolonger is a dealer for thoes engines in the US. If it's siezed, start thinking Yanmar or outboard. Pat McCartin Inland Marine Diesel Buford, Ga imd_ga@hotmail.com
