I am curious: Can anyone give me information on a complete propulsion set up for my early model Vega? What is the most common replacement diesel and gearbox. Also shaft length and propeller size. I bought the boat with everything removed, and would like to hear from people who have done total a re-power.
I friend has a set up from a similar size boat (Yanmar I believe), and I am reasonably confident I could configure the engine bed to be in plane with the shaft - I have plenty of people around who've done this kind of thing in big boats,but any Vega specific experience would be helpful. Part of me thinks it would be just as, if not more efficient to just sell it and find a boat with an inboard.
