I'm refittting a 1972 Salty Dog. The existing engine is a 454 / 330 hp. The two options I have are:
1) Rebuild the 454 to 496 w/ fuel injection etc w/ increased torque in essence drop the engine back in. 2) Install reman BTA 210 Cummings Turbo with all the changes/ trans. shaft prop etc. I need to know from any 28 S/D owners what performance they achieve with a 454 or 496 or 210 hp diesel. GPH, Speed / rpms at best overall performance of the items as well as WOT. Intresting story: I stopped at yard in MD. and was talking to the owner who asked what I did for a living. I said epoxy flooring? His response was I have 200 gallons of left over materials from his shop floor. How Much! He said Do you like the boat. Yes I do! How much for the boat! $2,950.00 , For the boatand the epoxyt. SOLD!!!! I'll even buy a extra boat stand. THe boat is in very good condition with the expected TLC This is my second 28 Uniflite,the first was a sportfisherman. Hull is sound and the cabin is clean, very clean. The engine runs but I'll do one or the other above. The weather has turned to the 20s and the boat is now in 84 PA. Thats the name of the town so in water trial is out but for the price it dosen't matter. A good solid hull to refit. Any response will be apperciated. Thanks FFB. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
