I'm looking at a Bristol 29.9 this Friday. The ad says it has a Yanmar YB12 single cylinder 10hp engine. The age is the same as the boat, so it must be original.
The Boat US review says these boats were made with an Atomic 4 at first, then a 15hp Yanmar, then a 16hp Universal.
Is it likely that the owner and broker are wrong?
I'll know in a few days, but I'm just curious if anyone can confirm the stock diesel in a 1977 B29.9 (I think it is the 2QM15, but I might be confused with another boat). I can't find a reference for a Yanmar YB12, only a YSM-8 & a YSM-12.
It looks like a decent boat at a good price:

...but a 10hp engine (even a diesel) isn't gonna move it very quickly.
