I have a 1981 Catalina 38 ( #109 ) and have to repower as the transmission has seized and I feel it is not fiscally wise to add a new transmission to an old, corroding engine.
I am considering a Beta engine to replace my Universal 2524 ( 24 HP).
Would a 35HP Beta ( rather than the 28) be overkill on the old Catalina?
And I would appreciate any comments on the Beta engine!
Thanks ...
