Two years ago I had my 1988 m25XP replaced with a 30 horse Yanmar. My dealer charged me just over $10K for everything that needed to be done including a new panel.

Fellows,
I recently installed a Gori 3 bladed prop on my '88 C34. I gained a knot of sailing speed but lost half a knot motoring. I checked with a prop shop and a university professor with engineering programs on props. Both said the 15x9 was way under pitched. I tried for months to get A-B Marine to send me the correct blades. I found the company completely unresponsive to my needs and arrogant in their defense of their mistake. I offer this only as a warning to my fellow C34 owners: Buyers Beware.
