I have a 56ft Fifie (18'6') Beam called Rival 2. they're getting to be a bit of a rarity. she's getting a bit tatty at the moment but i love her.

I'm buying a running yacht to convert into a static floating home. Will be selling two good running 120 hp Lehman's, gearboxes, exhaust systems, fuel systems, plus a genset. Located San Francisco Bay. Hope to sell all to one buyer. (510) 757-3483

hello All nutters, am just rebuilding the ford 380 in my working boat conversion, and found enginefixuk (ebay seller) a good source for parts, i've had my crank reground and am replacing main and big end shells,rings and obviously all gaskets, found i got the parts required for upto half the cost of my early quotes using good old ebay (tigger1590 for gaskets) though as yet i'm struggling to find decent price for a damper plate (i have a 2:1 velvet drive box) if anyone has any suggestions? would be appreciated, cheers,

Indeedy. Its the one thing on this boat that always behaved impeccably. It even sounds nicer than a modern diesel, despite the grey sludge that passes for engine oil!

Good to see you're back. Aren't old marine diesels great? On the rare occasions they won't start,even after months of neglect, check compression, air and fuel. 9 times out of 10 you'll find the problem is something incredibly simple like a dirty filter. On modern engines it'll be the electronics and you'll have to spend a fortune on a new microdoofa.

what ratio is you borgy box? I've got a spare one.. the one that's in is 1.5:1 and only has about 450hrs on it. I've got a 2.1:1 I'm replacing it with because we need a bigger ratio to get the prop gearing right
