It being November .. I always think "huum, maybe this winter I will
repower"

And so I start to look around.. the ususal suspects: Beta, Yanmar,
Universal.

I stumbled.. or I should say they stumbled upon me .. the Phasor engine.

It is a Kabota.. pretty much seems like a Beta.. Since Beta are Kabota..

What do ya know?

Look at the Vetus diesel engine http://www.vetus.nl/en/catalogue_2008.html

It is a Mitsubishi engine. They also make engine for other branded name.

My friend repowered (about 2 years ago) a 38 C&C Landfall with a Vetus MT
15, 4 cylinders. The price included all instruments/cabling without the
transmission for $6.000.00 USD.

He installed it himself and had minimum re-bedding and alignment to do. He
had no problem to install his old transmission.

So far he is extremely please with the engine and always cruise at maximum
hull speed.
