[C38] gasoline to diesel

[Don Strong]

Upgrades? To a previously owned sailboat with an Atomic 4 that we called 
"The Antichrist," the key upgrade would have been an upgrade to diesel.  
That engine failed regularly, especially in narrow Florida inlets with 
running tides. It caught fire off and on. We sold the boat. The PO of 
our C38, Discreet Charm installed a Yanmar 3GM, which has worked 
flawlessly for the 9 years of our ownership.  The rest of the PO's 
upgrades are nice too: dodger, standing rigging, wiring, cushions, 
mattress, etc. The Yanmar is my favorite, however.
