I am considering
buying a used
catamaran, but I think that I would soon have to replace one of the two engines and its
transmission. The
engine in need of future replacement is a
Perkins M-20 (18 HP) and the
transmission is a
Hurth model HBW-50. The other
engine was replaced a few years back with a
Perkins M-30 (27 HP). Can anyone recommend a good/easy replacement for the M-20? Obviously, I would want something around 27 HP. Also, any idea on the approximate total cost of such a
repower, including labor cost?
