PROJECTS

In 2003, we removed the aging 1980 33 hp Universal diesel and re-powered SP with a 1983 44 hp (model 5444) Universal diesel sporting only 600 hours. The newer engine was purchased from a friend who had re-powered his Pedrick 41with a larger engine. The 5444 coupled up with the existing Hurth transmission and muffler system. It also slid right onto the existing stringers and bolted into the existing mounting holes. Though a relative simple swap on the surface, like everything else "boat" there were some unexpected requirements along with new components and a long overdue overhaul of the engine compartment itself.
