Hi all, just bought a boat with one of these in. I wonder what the power is, incase I decide to replace it with a wee diesel?

If it's the 1100 Kent X-flow, about 52bhp IIRC

The related Valencia from a Fiesta claimed 55 bhp.

My old mk2 Escort had one originally and I seem to remember it was a straight 40hp.

Thanks everyone, Looks like a little 3-cyl diesel should do the trick (if I keep it and decide to upgrade)

My first car was a mk2 escort 1.1 pop, 45 bhp I think they had, but more in the fiesta of the same age.

45 bhp teaches you a lot about how to over take safely!

They always sounded willing enough but then you look at the speedo...
