Been on the water most of my life both sail and power boats, moved up from a 30ft to a Morgan 41 out island, she needs some TLC but is solid. The engine a Perkins 154 needs a rebuild or replacement, any opinion would be appreciated

With old Perkins you are best off replacing, this is because while they made good engines, parts are getting hard to find for them.

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome aboard from the West Coast , Wildfire. No opinion to give you re the Perkins ... no experience with them.

Hello from Carlsbad, San Diego, CA! New to the forum & wanted to introduce myself! I have little sailing experience but have huge ambitions to be a catamaran cruiser in about a year or so! Looking forward to learning from everyone!
