Two-stateroom galley-down double-cabin trawler; the Albin 40 Sundeck is the same boat with a full-width aft deck. A single 135 hp Lehman was once standard but most have twin 135s (10 knots cruise) or later twin 210 hp Cummins (12 knots). Deep skeg protects props and rudders. Not a low-maintenance boat.

Engines & parts

Ford Lehman 135 / SP135 (2725E) parts: good

Factory standard engine — you entered “Ford Lehman 135”

Based on the later Ford 'Dover' 2725E 6.2 L naturally aspirated six (Ford built the Dover series 1982–1994, then Otosan/Dovertech to 2005). Parts are sold by the same Lehman specialists as the 120; American Diesel lists spare-parts sheets and Go2marine stocks cooling parts, heat exchangers and elbows for the 135. Do not assume 120 (2715E) and 135 (2725E) internals interchange.
