Hi, I'm Emilie and from Belgium. For the last 6 months I renovated my spacesailor 27 to live on it.

I have some issues with my engine (Diesel Bukh 10HP motor DV8). One of the probleme is the holes in my sail drive and i can't buy a new one cause the news one doesn't fit my boat. Does someone have an idea where i could found a old one? And do you have some advices for me?

Thank you so much for your time
Ps: sorry for my english writting!

Note the comment in the ad ""re-built" by Bukh but failed after 150 hrs." Not the first time I have heard this sort of story.

Do you have the transom cut-out for an outboard? The Spacesailers were designed for outboards, and a 10 or 12hp one would do you fine.
