Can anyone advise me the best solution to power an old 19 ft clinker half cabin. I purchased the boat 10 years ago with its original Blaxland twin 5/7 txrr. I never found the motor easy to start even after servicing, and was persuaded to replace it in 1999. Now some 8 years later still no motor and the boat having been out of the water since '99 is finally being restored. Should I be Reinstalling a txrr (mine has probably rusted through), or is it more economical and reliable putting in a Diesel? Someone suggested looking at a new electric pod motor to power the boat.
I may be planning on selling this boat and want to capitalise the best way but also want to do the best for the boat.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
