Well the symptoms were it was not getting fuel. Then the fuel pump was rebuilt and fuel was making its way through everything but it still wouldn't start. So the mechanic took it apart and compression tested it---No compression. Took off the valve cover to find water in the valves. There was a recent time I was heeled over on a shoal and had to get a tow off so it was conceivable water came up the exhaust. I hauled the engine out and took it in to the mechanic. He took it apart and found the entire inside pitted and trashed. Said water had to be in there for at least a year to do that. That would have been prior to my purchasing it. He says he can rebuild it but it will just have some other issues down the road so its better to find another.

I have a 1986 C27 with a Universal 18 that is no longer alive. A rebuild is not possible as the inside was completely pitted by water and likely to have issues down the road even with a rebuild. So I am looking for a new used engine. It's not my forever boat so I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. I am curious as to what other engine options there are. What will fit the space? I looked at a 3-cyl Yanmar yesterday but I think it's about 1.5 inches too big. Any ideas? BTW, I'm in Florida if anyone knows of anything and will drive to surrounding states. Thanks---Amy
