A marinized Kubota, try Beta.

Probably more than you want to pay, but that's life.

You should be able to get a Volvo-Penta D1-13 for about that, nice
motor, (I've got one)

I did see a VP S-Drive that was fairly reasonable. Installing one would be
the easiset way to go. But IIRC, they are at least partly aluminum.
Salt water environment is pretty hard on that.

I'm not familiar with the engine you mention but I have two Peugeot
Induner, marinized engines in a boat. aluminum head, intake manifold,
bell housing and transmissions. Been there for about 30 years with no
problems.

The engines do have fresh water cooling though.

and if you ever need Parts, expect to PAY, and PAY, and PAY, for them....
Volvo is extremely proud of their Parts, and charge accordingly....

I really liked the Westerbeke 13 HP two cylinder. It would run a lot smoother
than that one lunger 10 hp.


If i could find one complete (like from a wreck, Salty!) I think it would
be a very interesting winter project.

So who (besides Wee Willie) has a wreck handy?

I don't have a spare, but I can tell you that I really like the engine. I
have one in my Sabre. Not a minute's trouble.
