Dear Brian,

I live in The Netherlands, and we just completed a trip with our Vega on the
dutch IJsselmeer. We had a phone call from friends in Hoorn who styayed
their with their yacht.
In a matter of 6 hours we had joined them with our Vega, coming from
Naarden.

I wonder why you donot replace your gas engine Volvo Penta I presume by a
new diesel engine.
The late Sidney Rosen's bulletinbs is full of tips what engine to
purchase. A gas engine is a bid dangerous , thats why Albin's wharf
changed to VOlvo Penta's diesels I presume.

In case you need advice what engine to purchase I can look up Sid'
Newsletters. Regards,
Henk Jansen

Brian: I have the original gas engine from my Vega #1071 complete with
gearbox but minus shaft and propellor. It's been hanging in my barn since
1982 when we went to Yanmar diesel. I'd always planned to use it for
something around the farm, but never did. I've turned it over a few times so
it isn't seized up, but no guarantees. If you're interested (I'm in
Portland, OR), e-mail me. I have no idea what it's worth. Bill Bach
