Regarding mechanical problems, I have not had any significant problems

Having said that...........I will never purchase another boat with an
outdrive as the upkeep is more demanding than an outboard.
That's why you need a Volvo I/O.
I really can't figure out what is the additional upkeep or why a Volvo
would have less than a Merc.
One less boot.
BTW: I do have a Volvo. ;-)
So do I, a DuoProp. I think they are great, but I never thought of them
as demanding less service than a Merc.
