Considered the post might be ironical?

Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
- We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
- Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
- The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
- Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
- For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
- Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
- Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
- Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
- Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
- Asking price
- Location
- A Basic Description
- Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
- Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
- Pertinent maintenance and condition information

Avoid Scams.
Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.
Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.
Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.
Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
- Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
- No posts or very few forum posts.
- Recent forum membership
- Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
- Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
- Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
- Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Truer words were never spoken. Amazing how this perfectly acceptable vessel has got so many knickers in a twist. Don't worry Stu, the EPA would not approve a VW insertion.
And Mako, please point out where I degraded the CAT engine.

The good news is that any press is good press. Its going to take an experienced yachtsman who knows a real boat and can look past the internet fodder from hackers. This boat is the real deal (if it is in the condition described). Some smart yachtsman is going cruising.
Several peeps on this sight have been aboard and verify the condition. I'm not one of them. I have never seen this boat, don't know if it is represented in present condition but if its anywhere close to the pics (which I think it is), its a bargain if it passes survey. I would be VERY surprised if it didn't. Quality boats cost money, this is a gem! I want to see this boat next month in FP at the TF gathering (hoping to make it).

"Old mechanical engines don't like being driven at 20% engine load, as the OP stated."
YES BUT, most older engines are tolerant of long time under loading , as bulldozer engines idiling and light loading were daily norms..
AS truck engines many were idled for 8-12 hours every time they did a long trip.
Yes,, the longest engine life is with the engine powering a generator head , constant load , only a very few cold starts , oil changed on the fly , and proper diesel coolant.
SO WHAT ???, the engine that might run 12,000 hours in this ideal setting might loose 20% or 25% of its service life with too light loading, sitting months , cold starts , and a constant damp caused by the wet exhaust.
Most owner change oil more frequently than required (no oil analysis) which helps get rid of the acids from blowby from light loading.
So that 12,000 engine becomes a 10,000 hr engine before the oil consumption gets too high.
For most boats 10,000 hours , at the common white boat 200 hours a year is......FIFTY YEARS!!!
I would never swop an engine with many decades of service life left for a tiny car engine , even in theory that it should be "more efficient".
An old engine goes out to anchor service when it is less work to swop it out than find parts for.
Makes me a Detroit 6-71 fan , but there are lots of aftermarket items for most Cats too.
