Vetus Peugeot Engine P4.19, 55HP for sale

We are about to undertake a re-powering project. We want to go for a new Yanmar engine.

We have a running Vetus Peugeot P4.19 (55HP) engine for sale. The engine is running smoothly but has some problems, like oil in the cooling water and air bubbling out of the cooling water. It would need a overhaul or it could be used to extract spare parts.
