Hagley - Engine

Hagley was originally unpowered, being paired with a motor boat. This is not practical for us since we can't afford to run a pair. Hagley has therefore had a hole drilled through the stern post and a propellor fitted. This will be connected up to a 1952 single cylinder Crossley diesel engine.

The engine is currently being rebuilt and when finished will be fitted to a gearbox and and mounted on the engine bearers which have been installed. The engine will develop 20hp at 1500rpm, producing a nice solid sound and with plenty of shiny bits to polish!
