As one Sabre owner to another I wouldn't give you a bucket of horse piss for a MD7A let alone attempt to rebuild one. Ask me how I really feel, LOL.
I'm 95% sure I'm going with an electric set up but if I didn't I'd rather have a 9.9 outboard on the transom of my 28 rather than a diesel inboard. There's also Thunderstruck Motors that sells components for the DIY. Check out the 24-48 volt thread last week, someone mentioned they had a Lynch motor set up for direct drive. I know nothing about them but direct drive seems interesting. So many choices :)

Scott,
There are several ways to get to what you want.
There are several ways to get to what you want.
- A small gas outboard will most certainly push you boat and it does not need to be more than 9hp and if you are racing go a bit smaller but not below 4hp (should push you at 5kts) in case you really do need to push the boat against a tide or wind.
- There are several good quality marine propulsion systems. These are engineered, built, warranted, are plug-n-play and can be installed by any handy boat wright or owner. See list below:
- Annapolis Hybrid Marine
- Elco Motor Boats
- Electric Yacht
- ElectroProp Marine
- GreenStar (new to the US)
- Mastervolt
- There are also kits that require some assembly and a bit of mechanical engineering and mounting skill that will require good skill. You may save some money but you may spend some time of money with a boat wright to get it right.
What it take to push a Saber 28
Lots to think about. This blog if very good at sharing their experiences. Many have built their own and other have plug-n-play systems.
