Hey All-
I will be re-powering my Grand Banks 49 this spring with ReCon Cummins 6BTs. Couple reasons for the repower.
1) IMO I am slightly underpowered. Fully loaded I am probably pushing 80K lbs and my Lehmans don't give me any reserve power.
2) I plan on cruising south next year and would feel much more comfortable with new engines.
I can say in all honesty if I did not intend to so some serious offshore cruising i would not be repowering. Both engines run strong.
One engine is the original Lehman 120hp, and the other was replaced with an American Diesel 135hp. The replacement was done before i owned the boat and i don't have the full story there.
Anyway, replacement 135hp runs like new. There is a little diesel fuel leakage from the injection pump, which once running at full temp just evaporates away.
The original 120hp has a slight knock to it. Nothing crazy but you can hear it.
So i would love to find a home for these engines. I have no idea what they are worth, if anything. Once they are out of the boat i'd be happy to assist in getting them shipped out. I'm in the San Francisco area.
If you are interested let me know what you have in mind as worth... and if anyone wants to comment on what the engines are worth that would be great. No offence taken on what you think. And again they won't be ready until probably June.
