Hi
we are consider buying a 1990 Moody 425 which is fitted with a Thornycroft 42hp engine from 2005 with 1900 engine hours.
Is the 42hp bigger enough for this boat noting that many similar vessels have >50hp?
What is the life expectancy of the Thornycroft engine and how does 1900 hr relate?
Any information or opinions regarding the Thornycroft and how do they compare with the more common marine inboards for reliability, maintenance and access to parts?
