Default Volvo 5.7 vs Mercruiser 5.7

Looking at the 2008 Chapparal Sunesta and trying to determine which
motor would be the better option. We did test the 5.0 and the power
was pretty weak out of the hole and have not tried the 5.7 yet. Would
like to know Pros and Cons of this volvo vs mercruiser. Differences in
maintenance and such. Plan on using this boat for mostly cruising and
minor wakeboarding at Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas which has high salt
and mineral content for an inland lake.

Also does anyone know of any good mechanics in that particular area as
well (That can service Volvo IF we decide to go that route).

Thanks again for all your comments.
