I have a 6 or 7hp inboard Vire engine. I would like to replace this engine with a small diesel. Looking for ideas about a diesel that would fit. Maybe a 10 to 20hp. Thank you Don Emch emchsr@msn.com

10 is good

Hi. I see that u r looking for a new engime for your O27. My dad owns a 1984 O28 and he has a 10 horse universal deisel and it is just the perfect size to push your boat at about 5 knots goung in and out of port. I reccomend anywhere between a 10-15 hoarse DEISEL INBOARD. BUT KEEP AWAY FROM THOSE ATROCOUS OMC SAIL DRIVES!!! They are noisy, stall, hard-to-start, and frequently slip out of gear. If u have and further Questions, feel free to e-mail my at: Lyman57@hotmail.com see ya on the water!! -Ben McAndrew
