I¡±m in a similar situation with my 1978 27-2 #673 which had been dry docked for several years before I bought her. I disassembled the A30M when the yard declared the motor a total loss (the young man hadn¡¯t encountered an engine of that vintage) and am cleaning up the deposits and scaling. I have some reservations given the availability of parts. I know there is no cost-benefit analysis as we are talking about sailboats. My son tells me the Farymann is very straightforward and the rebuild will be enlightening (and lightening of my wallet...).
