Or the age.

If it is an Encounter, it is probably 20+ years old. Hence, my strong
recommendation to get a survey.

It's a 1978 with Volvo 280 legs and it is cheap. The rest of the boat
is in fair shape and I'm pretty handy since we have a 28'sailboat that
I maintain. I would have to spring for a trailer and haul it home but
we've got an acre of ground, two shops and lots of woodworking tools
and experience. I'm a retired welder and metalworker and mechanic. If I
go with another gas engine I can do it myself. I could also do most of
the diesel swap too. Then take it to the left coast for the final
work.The diesels that I'm looking at are low mileage HUMVEE surplus. Jim
