Hello everybody my name is Charley and I bought Peter's (Sleigher1) 1989 Blackman 26 OuterBanks. I love the boat and Peter took great care of her - I know it killed him to sell it. Anyway, I had a great summer getting to know the boat and went on some great adventures.
The engine is a Volvo TAMD 41A that runs good but I really think that more horsepower would be a big improvement. It is getting kind of tired. So ...........I am kicking around the idea of doing a re-power. I know it will cost a bunch but what the hell.........
Can you guys please recommend a new diesel that will generate around 300 hp and fit in the same space? I really want to keep the deck flat. Also, any guess on how much it will cost all in?
Thanks
Charley
