Hello, I'm trying to decide how interested I should get in a T-37 that has been repowered with a Volkswagen Pathfinder. I assume it has been somehow "marinized" but I'm not sure. This seems like a rather accidental pairing of power and boat - it might be OK but chances are it isn't a purposeful pairing of horsepower, power curve, and hull. I'd appreciate informative comments. I am not, by any means, an expert in diesel powerplants, nor powerplants for sailboats. Thanks.

If you are still here:

Pathfinder was a Nissan model name

Both Nissan and VW build large numbers of diesel engines for the rest of the world - only Americans would rather complain about gas prices and lack of horsepower.

I had a Pathfinder diesel in my prior boat. Thumbs up on this motor and the support on-line is very good if you ever have problems, http://www.pathfindermarine.com
