The boat came with a new 60 hp Isuzu four cylinder diesel that now has close to a thousand hours as well as a 90 amp Balmar alternator and smart charger regulator. The boat has hydraulic drive for better engine location. The engine has never been put into gear before reaching operating temperature, the oil and filters have been changed every 200 hours. The engine is governed to never operate above 1500 RPM. Of course the boat comes with a Max prop.

I’ve put about 20,000 miles on the sails since new but there is plenty of life left as they are incredibly heavy cruising sails (Leitch and Mcbride) and are serviced by the loft every year. The spinnaker (2 oz) and stays’l are virtually unused.
