Action, my Perkins diesel only had 900 hours on it. I bartered it to the shipwright at my yard in exchange for carpentry work on my boat over the summer.
He has sailboats & really wanted the engine, whereas I need stern settee repair (rotten boards, sanding, varnish) & I have some rot under my helm windows. I also requested that he install a small wood stove once I find one for the galley.
as we all know, these woodies get expensive to repair, so the barter system works well here.
