Hi,

Well, the Broker hasn't phoned yet, but I'm still confident the seller
will accept my offer and I'll be the Proud Owner of a 1978 Cal27.

One question: it has a "recently overhauled" Farymann A30 12hp one-cyl
diesel. Where can I find info on this engine, particularly specs like
WOT RPM, etc.? My impression is that the Farymann's are old clunkers,
not pretty or quiet but reliable - correct?

I put Farymann A30 into Google and got 1130 hits.....and no I'm not going
to read them for you...(c;

There's lots of info on the net if you do your own searching....lots of
owners info, too!



Yup, did that. I didn't follow all 1000+ links, but the 50 or so I DID
follow were either requests for info (mainly on what to replace the A30
with), or for-sale, either boat or engine.

NONE had the specs I'm looking for - if I'd found what I was looking for,
I wouldn't have asked here I was hoping someone actually HAD that
engine, and could tell me the specs from their Owner's Manual...

Kieth: thanks for that info! Was that Mfr's recommended WOT, or the WOT
you were getting? Did you have a manual?
