repowering

I currentlyhave the original volvo penta 2000 sea cooled engine on
hull 67 (1984).I would like to instal a Yanmar 27.My boat is on the
Chesa peake.Has any one any recommendations for a reliable yard to do
it?. I also need to work on the boat myself.

We just completed 2 months 8 days of work on the hard at Tidewater Yacht Service Center, Baltimore - www.TYSC.com .    Although we did all our own work, the yard treaded us well - both professionally and on a personal basis.  TYSC requires one to use vacuum sanders when working on the boat - especially for the bottom job.  We rented one of their Fein vacuum sanders for $25 per day plus the cost of the sanding discs.  In addition, they expect you to keep your area clean and tidy.
 
Tidewater has a very competent professional staff.  The key to any work is good communications between the yard and the boat owner, regardless of whether you do the work or the yard does the work.
