Hi there

A friend of mine on behalf of which I am writing has a Regal 2150, built in 2001, fitted with a Mercury Diesel Engine 1.7. Very unfortunately he has had an engine blow up.
He checks several options, one of which is to have it repaired which as far as I have heart is not possible.
The other one is to replace the entire engine. Does anyone have an idea, where to get them at a fair price or revised ones? Any idea where to find them in Europe (Switzerland)? The outdrive is ok.
He even thinks of switching to a gasoline engine. Is a switch possible at all and could it be done with the existing outdrive?
Thanks a lot for your help. Best Regards,

popey
