For Sale: Pair Lehman 225 turbo engines

[GreasyHands]

I have 2 Ford Lehman 225 Turbo Diesel engines I may like to sell.
They each have app:1600 original hours.
I got the boat with idea to restore, as she has been a "on the hard" Queen for the last 10 or so years.
1985 President Trawler.
I put in new batteries yesterday, and yeah engines started right up after bleeding air from fuel system.
Used new fuel from a can.

There is also a Northern Lights Diesel generator with 500 hours showing on its control panel, and yes, it fires right up, produces electricity and it is unusually quiet, Are Northern Lights generators Really this quiet??
I was surprised.
Anyway, I'm trying to decide whether to go through with refitting the boat, or just sell the engines and Generator.
Evidently some windows and ports were left slightly open, and there is much rotten wood in the boat.
I mean it's not the worst I've seen but maybe too much for me to deal with.

So, if anyone needs great low hour engines and 8kw Diesel Genset,
Reach out and see where it goes.
The engines will come complete with running gear, prop shafts, props, exhaust, wiring harnesses and engine instruments.
I'm thinking 12k for both engines, and around 5k for the Northern Lights Generator, with wire harness and remote panel.
Pictures upon request

How long have you had the boat, and what will you do with the boat if you sell the engines?

 

[GreasyHands]

I have not had it that long, just started seriously going through it last week.
The exterior is really good condition and the interior isn't like destroyed or any thing, just realizing the work may be more than I want to deal with..
I have someone who will demo the boat if I decide to remove the engines and generator.
I've got 15k in the boat...if I get 17k for engines and genset...I'm ok with that.

Have you thought about just listing her for 30? It be a lot less work and if you got 20 you'd still be ahead. Especially if the exterior shows good and you can run all the engines.

People are always looking to spend their tax dollars.

Good luck in whatever you decide.

Yeah, you might be right about that.
With 2 cabins, 2 heads with showers it would be a heck of a liveaboard or Loop boat, which is why I was interested in it.
But like I said there are wood rot areas, but it weird, no rot around the windows, no soft decks, the rotten wood is mostly at the sliding doors that enter from the rear, and the plywood that was used in the engine room to mount pumps, exhaust boxes, batteries....all rotten, so all that equipment would need to be removed and replace all that plywood with maybe Starboard I guess, but man, what a job...
