We are getting ready to install a new engine in the boat this fall. Our
considerations are a new Westerbeke, Century, or Yanmar. The boat currently
houses a Westerbeke so the conversion to a new Westerbeke is the easiest.
No messing with motor mounts, spares carry over, and this has been a good
engine 5400 hours. On the down side the Westerbeke is a big engine and runs
at 3600 RPM. The Century is rated at a lower RPM (2500) but is larger yet
than the Westerbeke. Both have only 1 year warranties. The Yanmar has a 5
year waranty, is much smaller and lighter but again runs at a higer RPM and
gets Hp from the turbo and intercooler.

So, any comments, good or bad with any of the above mentioned engines?
