Topic: Outboard/inboard dilemma
Hi Benoit:
I recently looked into the costs associated with putting in a new inboard diesel engine from a Yanmar dealer in Toronto - a brand new engine alone could cost anywhere from $5,500 to $6,000 and then if you hire some one to install it, quotes could range anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 defending on what is required.
If you look at the "Bika" web site, it looks as if they are planning to sail around the world with an outboard engine - as for the actualy sailing it should be no problem.
Just some thoughts.
