Re: repower with diesels
Tony, my son now owns my boat, it has 2800 hours on 315 yanmars. They are a great engine, as long as you do the correct maintence. I did install a fresh water flush system with assist from Tony Athens. My friend is going to be looking @ the 8 cyl. yanmars and probably the 330 cummins.

Re: Price of a 31 in 1975
About the early 1970's the price of oil quadrupled and everything went up in price. I had a sales slip for a 31 Bert. In 1967, the price was $ 19k. The power was 330'hp chryslers. How things have changed.

Does anyone know the length of service for barry mounts. The engines are 315 yanmars and we put about 220- hours a year on them. We do not beat the boat up, most hours are trolling.
