Have you tried Winchester Marine? They have Mermaids and Sabres, amongst others, either second hand or fully reconditioned. Very very reasonable on price too. You might be better off going up there because the workshops are like an aladins cave of engines!

cheers for that mate ,i have been looking for there number ,was going to ring them tomorrow

[mike88]

Think theyre pretty good up there, they seem to know their stuff. A mate was quoted about £5000 for a fully rebuilt 200hp Mermaid complete with Borg Warner box or a good second hand one for about half that price.

sounds good ,a bloke in chichester harbour with a mitchell 31 (tamar lady)has just change his engine from a 120hp to a 212hp which he got from winchester marine which was a full rebuild and he said they were very helpfull

also golden arrow do have rebuilds and 2nd hand engines for sale, but thay can be pricie some times
we had a pair of running 180 mermaids last year which i replaced with bigger ones but the company sold on to a firm in waymouth, il try to find out who thay were. as im sure thay were a sabre/ mermaid dealer
