I'm thinking I might have to modify the galley a bit to make it fit.

Two bladed prop or three, do you think?

Winthrop could use one of these

I'll bet Winthrop could figure out how to put this engine in his Typhoon! Might have to move the Porta Potti, though.

I was thinking of repowering my CD27 a few years back and didn't. I certainly would consider putting that engine in. The only thing stopping me is that I'd have to raise my waterline stripe on my boat just a tad and I hate doing anything that requires painting.....so I think I'll pass!!!
