    gardner diesel engine

    Thanks for the input and I *agree the local fisherman are a wealth of information and quite a few are friends. Most not all were sold on big engines and the need for speed and bigger and beamer boats. This is not the formula for success with high fuel prices and low lobster prices. I would like...

    forward engine room willard 30

    Hi Nomadwilly, The answer to your question is no the boat was sold just after I looked at it. The Willard was a custom one of a kind and was listed as a 1995 but the hull was built in the 70's but never was used. The great thing about the forward engine room was you could walk in and sit down...
