I helped my friend with his MD7A and THAT was considerably more expensive to rebuild.

yes the volvo green means parts are green ( expensive)
hence I buy any spares when I find them cheap .
But a yanmar is a tractor motor so parts are reasonable and with a tech manual and inclination most of it is owner serviceable .

I wish I wanted a 34' foot boat! Tartans are gorgeous, well-built, and, as you say, yanmars are great engines. DEFinitely worth a look...!

I'm thinking that this boat should more appropriately be listed under the "worst boat pics ever", but hey. I thought this thread would get a kick out of this one:

Now on to something serious - 3 yard boats. All basic, $500 each, but hulls look solid:

Definitely.

I recall somewhere that the 35s may need to have the keel bolts checked if they haven't been already.:

Lets also remember that some of these boats a true sailing classics, and it's better to see them given away than rotting in someones yard, or the back of the marina. I hope the admins will let me keep this thread going!
