Still in the decision phase of my engine replacement. The yard has suggested the following Yanmar engine with saildrive. Anyone have any experience or opinions on it?
I have that on my 30 Ultra and have been happy with it.

I suggest you also take a look at the Beta 25 or 30. They offer a sail drive option. I repowered a different Hinterhoeller boat (Niagara 35) with Beta 30 and kept the original Volvo 110S saildrive, which was rebuilt and resealed in the process. I love this engine. It is very quiet, easy to access for service and maintenance. I had it configured by factory with remote oil filter, very convenient, and with mounting legs to perfectly fit the original Volvo engine bed. Long term, parts will be easier and less expensive, when needed, for the Kubota block.
