Ray replaces his A4 with a Yanmar 3YM30

Referring to the "new stuff" dated 12/28/06, Sun Dancer has about 1000 pounds of lead ingots in the bilge.
When I acquired Sun Dancer, the bilge was a mess of oily sludge. I removed and cleaned all of the ingots and replaced them.
See the pile under the rudder. (picture 1)
When I acquired Sun Dancer (hull #4), it was flooded up to the seat cushions with rain/snow and oil.
I scrapped the Atomic 4 and replaced it with a Yanmar 3YM30 because I intended to do long distance cruising. We put 3300 miles and 900 hours on it last winter.
It was an easy replacement for me, a retired marine engineer. I did all the work myself. Minor modification of the engine foundation, but complete rearrangement and renewal of all plumbing (water, fuel, exhaust).
I had to increase the propeller pitch and made a new shaft.
