I need to either do a rebuild on a Volvo TMAD41A engine, or find a replacement diesel engine for our skiff.
rebuilding is somewhere over 20000.00...The engine fare market valve (Old Engine) is around 6000.00.
I would like to stay away from outboards /gas if possible.
 
At 20,000 you must be doing much more than cylinder kits. In any event what is the application of the vessel? Commercial? Pleasure?
 
Coastal Marine in Seattle wants over $20K for a complete rebuild, total reman, engine tore down to the last piece, when you get it back it looks like a new engine. I know this because I have talked to them about rebuilding my 41a's. Parts alone is a minimum $5,000. Liner kits are $700 each, the pistons are a better design to reduce smoke, 41a's are known to make smoke when not up to operating temp.
I would love to replace these with a different brand but I'm not having much luck finding choices.
oottomc do you have a reduction gear or an outdrive? When you say "skiff" it makes me think of a small seine skiff.
I have a 36' aluminum bowpicker and one of the likely swaps has been YANMAR .
