ATOMIC FOURS

This flathead four cylinder engine was used in many sailboats, 25 to 45 feet, from shortly after WW II to the early eighties. Production ceased in 1978, but Catalina Yachts had bought a large number and used them until the early 80's. Many boats are still being enjoyed by owners who are willing to take a little time for routine maintenance.

Many 27 - 35 foot sailboats can be purchased for less than $10,000 with A4's. Often owners will call for a quote on a new diesel and are surprised when the total remove and reinstall (R&R) exceeds what they paid for their boat.

Some choose to have their A4 rebuilt for much less or install an outboard, a poor choice in my opinion. The A4 can be an excellent, reliable auxiliary engine. There are a few folks who do an excellent job of rebuilding A4's( Moyer Marine, Nuclear Engine and a firm in British Columbia, Canada). I have been rebuilding A4's for about ten years now, selling and shipping them all over the USA and have many satisfied customers.

However, due to arthritis developing rapidly in my hands and knees, my output is becoming more limited.

I am willing to sell all nine of the A4's, new and used parts, etc. as a package or will sell any items individually. I have several A4's undergoing rebuilding or reconditioning and can usually have one ready to ship in a week. My rebuilt A4's have sold for $3,000 to $4,000 USD. Crating and shipping to the most distant part of the USA from Pensacola, FL has been less than $500.

As time permits I will publish an entire inventory with pictures. Until then send me an e-mail with your A4 needs and we will negotiate a fair price.
