Wow, worse then I thought it would be. So the heat exchanger leaked salt water into the engine cooling system. The salt water become the engine coolant. The salt water corroded the metal until it reached combustion chamber. That's where the water got into the engine oil. I guess part it out and repower. Makes sense to go with an engine that fits better and uses less fuel.

Precisely what happened, super unfortunate. I think that’s what I’m going to do, makes the most sense to me.

You might want to consider just mounting an outboard on the rear. Remove the prop, and you'd be good to go. You might have to beef up the transom. At some point with these old boats you have to look at what is most practical.

Definitely crossed my mind, I already bought a new diesel for her though, currently working on putting in.

Sailboats with a slower hull speed and a transom mounted outboard can have the outboard swamped by following seas.

Put you a harbor, freight predator engine in that thing. I forget the channel name but I got a guy did it and showed how he did it on KZitem.

😂😂😂 that would be cheaper lol. I have a little blue 14ft sailboat I’m thinking about doing that to, but I actually have an antique brigs and Stratton marine engine that they used in the Poulsbo boat I might put in it.
