Due to circumstances, my 1980 Catalina 27 has been out of the water for over 10 years.
Hoping to get it back in the water, I had the Universal 11 Diesel pulled and and sent to a mechanic shop. They discovered that the engine needed $6,700 worth of work to recondition it and to put a new engine in would cost about $7,800. The boat is clean and well equipped but I don't think I want to spend the money and will probably sell or donate the boat. Considering the engine is (unfinished) in one shop and the boat is in another boatyard, what are my options at this point ?
