I am looking to repower my Hunter 27 and I currently have two engines available. One is a 2GM (15Hp) which is a raw water engine. The other is a 2GM20F (18Hp) which is a fresh water engine. Is there a better choice between the two engines? Are there benefits to one over the other? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Real sailors bring their first mate with them so they don't have to get home in a hurry....
Oh, and thanks for the math lesson...I don't think I could have figured out that 18Hp is better then 13Hp without your help.

I would tend to go for the 2GM20F, it is a recent engine and parts will be available for some years to come. Prolly the most popular auxillary in Yanmar's line up. The 2GM a good engine, but is getting long in the tooth. Also the Fresh Water system is good for a hi heat more efficient operation and you can installing a cabin heater
