I saw a boat for sale with Perkins diesels. I love the boat but am nervous about Perkins. Not likely I’ll move forward on the boat due to personal timing, but want to be less leery.
Oh, and I am cheap.
What I have heard-
Ancient
No parts any more
Parts available must come from the UK ( I’m in the US)
My good boat buddy Tom on here is a mechanical whiz, but sold it. Anyone with a Perkins currently able to comment? Any idiosyncrasies? Any difficulty ordering parts in the US?
Thanks
