We are sailors moving up to a trawler and have located a great boat but I am concerned about its engines.* It is a 1981 with original Perkins turbocharged ST6.3544M engines that have almost 3000 hours on them.* I'm concerned about a possible future replacement of the turbos in view of the high hours on the engine.* Any thoughts about my concern?* If I need to replace turbos in the future can I convert to a naturally aspirated instead at less cost?**Any other advice would also be appreciated.
