To Scott, Dan, John and all other members of our small community,
I am grateful for your advice. Read your suggestions very carefully and
offered the potential buyer (who probably will join this group) 3K off
the price we agreed upon.
Even though I haven’t met him I like him. Because he loves our boats and
seems to fallen in love with them as we did. They say “Love can be blind!”
At least it is true in my case.
There are two issues working against him though. First; he is in love with
her and wants her and I know it. (Bad for bargaining.) Second; deep down I
am still in love with her and don’t want to part from her. (Very good for
bargaining)
Let’s wait and see whether he will accept the offer.
Thank you all…
Mehmet

I agree with John and Scott. If you were on scene and keeping the boat,
you could pull the head yourself, get the head planed if necessary, replace
the head gasket, have the injectors overhauled, and carry on. However if
you were planning to head off around the world, you (or your prospective
buyer) might decide you want to start out with new 3YM30F Yanmar. A couple
of years ago I priced one and it was about $8000 (installation not
included). I guess diesel mechanics charge around $100/hr, so a new engine
will be very expensive if you hire out its installation.In 1989 I replaced the head gasket on our 3GM30F after only 1000 hrs and
the engine now has over 5000 hrs on it. I probably should have had the head
planed but we were in Mexico, getting ready to head to the Marquesas.I think your best option is to offer to reduce your price by the repair
cost. The buyer can then decide whether to repair the engine (cheaply if he
does most of the work himself) or buy a new engine.Sorry that your plans had to be aborted.
