With 2958's approaching 25 years probably looking at major rebuilds of both engines, drives and fuel tank. Been looking at several 2958's on-line, Would prefer single engine for engine / drive rebuilding & fuel economy. However the ones locally are twins & FWC:
2 SBC Alpha 1's,
3 SBC / Cobra
1 5.8 Ford / Cobra
All thing been equal which drives would be preferred and why?
Which is more salt water tolerant?
A second more costly but maybe better choice would be dumping the Alpha's and Cobra's and replace with rebuild Volvo DP's and bite the bullet... Brining be back to finding a single engined boat.
Dollar wise this leads me back to finding the right 2850 CB and planning for a modern FI re-power with Volvo DP.
Comments or suggestions please
