So, what's attached to the twin Volvos???????

A 32' Express...

And that's all I'm gonna say for now.

Other than to say that owning inboard diesels goes against every
single fiber of my inner need-for-speed core.

It's being delivered Friday.



Ok. We'll wait for the boat details, but .... what engines?
I ask because the general boating community always says about Volvo diesels,
"ya can't get parts ... yada... yada... yada...

I've never had any problems getting regular maintenance parts for mine,
including the standard "spare parts" inventory of filters, belts, etc. If
and when they should ever need more serious maintenance, the marina where I
have the boat has certified Volvo diesel mechanics.

Bottom line is, I think you are really going to like them. Mine are TAMP
63P (370hp version) and have been absolutely trouble-free, quiet and clean
burning as compared to some of the other diesels. They are also very fuel
efficient engines.

Congrats in advance and welcome to the world of "real" boat engines! :-)
