You might try looking for a used Kubota tractor engine. You have all the parts to marinize it from your old engine. The basic Kubota engine is a Z500 and was used in the B5100 tractors. Here is a site to track used engines. http://www.tractorhouse.com/listings/parts/search.asp?Manu=KUBOTA&Model=&MdlX=Contains&PartNum=&grp=&dlr=&CID=&pdcl=1 Good luck. Don, #6293, Niceville, FL

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
