Thanks Andy, will email the guy, not hopeful it's a B18/20 though, they're OHV not OHC, he mentioned cambelt! I need a B18/20 to keep it original, don't want to start tearing the boat apart, changing engine mounts and drive connections etc. If you see anything else, could you please give me a shout. Many thanks. Brian.

I've got a 4 cylinder Volvo and leg but its in a Draco 18 and I'm not going to split it.

Blue mist · 13-03-2009, 06:12 PM

Been for sale for months, spoke to the owner a while back got bad vibes

its not for me.

Blue mist · 13-03-2009, 06:16 PM

I could split it.

Geriatric · 13-03-2009, 07:36 PM

Blue Mist, you are mistaken. My Draco has not been for sale, its just that I have no time to renovate. Anywy, Im quite happy to keep it for another year as its not eating or drinking where it is.

think blue mist was talking about the engine on B & O and not your boat dude

Blue mist · 13-03-2009, 09:41 PM

Hi Geriatric, Burty was correct

i was referring to the engine on B&O, sorry for the confusion. Not wishing to look a fool, opps to late

i don't know how to highlight text from a previous post if i could it would have stopped this happening! could anybody help? Me and PCs don't get on, i'm better with wood and spanners.

I was after a project boat... something me and the little girl can mess about doing up, and launch this summer... this doesnt look like it needs _that_ much work... other than a new engine and leg...

Now the question is... what engine do I get for it, and what leg... and where do I start looking?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ben
