Pearson 365 and 367

Does anyone have the template for the teak holly sole?

Thanks,

I have a 1977 365 Ketch with a Westerbeke W40, serial number 108U84698B607.  I've pulled the engine to have it rebuilt.  I live in Austin TX so skilled sailboat mechanics are in short supply.  I'm being told the engine rebuild won't happen until the end of the year and I can't get an estimate until they pull it apart.  I have found an engine on eBay that was rebuilt in 2010 it has 350 original hours and 93 since the rebuild.  I can get it plus the transmission for $5500 with shipping.  I would like to take this route since it will be quicker but have a few questions.
How do I tell if the engine is compatible?  It says it is a W40 with a paragon trans which is what I have.  I've asked the yard what the serial number of the engine is and what it came out of but haven't gotten a response.  Looking for some advice on how to proceed.  eBay offers a buyer protection plan so I believe, although, I've yet to thoroughly research what that means but will if I proceed.  Would you rebuild or buy.  The yard that has my engine is a Westerbeke certified dealer.

I have a 1977 Pearson 365 Ketch.  I need to rebuild my Westerbeke 40 so I have to pull the engine.  I've seen posts on the site regarding removal but I assume since they are several years old the threads and links have expired.  Would anyone who has experience removing the engine be willing to post tips and pictures.  Thanks,

I have a 1977 Pearson 365.  I have to remove the engine.  You indicated you did it without a hitch.  Would you have any tips?

Pete,

I just posted a request for a template for the cabin sole.  Do you have that or the drawings?  If it is a lot to pull them together I can wait to see if there are replies to my post. 

Thanks

I have a 1977 Pearson 365 Ketch.  Does anyone know if there are templates for the cabin sole, I want to install a teak and holly sole there.  I'm also wondering if there is a template for the teak brightwork on the deck which needs to be replaced.
Thanks
