Hello Rick
I'm in the same position you are with the BaBa 30. Last week I was in Portland, Or. to obtain some comparable cost to having the work done in Florida before the boat is shipped back to Oregon. The Yanmar 3YM30 in Portland was 7500 hundred. I checked with
a nearby yard that has experience with BaBa's and was told to expect to pay around 14K for engine and installation. I wish Tom Beard was giving a class.

  Subject: [Baba-L] Engine re-power

  Hi all. I'm afraid the time has come for Lorac's Volvo MD-11 to be put to rest. This is an area where I need some insights from those with past experience. Have any of you done a re-power from Volvo MD-11 to another power unit. I am considering either the Yanmar; 3YM30, the Westerbeke; 30B three or the Volvo; D1-30. I would like to know the following:
  1) What rngine did you re-power with?
  2) Was the installation fairly simple or highly complicated?
  3) Were there any clearance issues?
  4) A ball park idea of installation cost? ( probably a WEAK attempt to defend myself fromthe marine indusry treatment)

  Thanks for the help.
  Fair winds, blue water.
