As to the original poster's questions about engine life I would make the following observation. I have been watching Yacht World boat ads for years. I have NEVER seen a trawler (Private - not commercial) for sale with a Ford Lehman in it with 10,000+ hours. If you do a search with the following parameters of 32-50', diesel, and trawler you will get about 2,000 hits. Start digging through them and see if you find a 10,000+hr engine. I've got $20 that says no. I feel that since the trawlers I look at tend to be 30+ years old I would like to find one in the 2,000 to 3,000 hr range. That equates to 70-100 hrs a year. I would only buy a 5,000+hr boat if everything else was perfect and the price allowed me to replace an engine and still be able to sell the boat w/o the loss of $15,000. I get cranky when I lose money. Just one mans opinion. Good luck.dave |

Ford Lehman Marine Diesel Engines
I'm looking a buying a used boat, and I have a dozen years experience with marine diesels evenly split between Yanmar and Perkins. Through others I know I know a few things about other makes and models, but I know precious little about the Ford Lehman diesel.
Every diesel has their good and bad points and quirks. Perkins are loud, leak and are reliable with cheap parts. Yanmar are tight and reliable but the parts are $$$.
What are the good, bad and ugly things that I need to know about Ford Lehman motors? What questions should I ask and what will my surveyor be looking for? The model I am finding most often is the 85HP 4 cylinder model 2722E.
Any wisdom and experience with these diesels would be appreciated.
