Volvo-penta 4 cyl engine
Hi Group, We're looking at a 1980 Bayliner Flybridge with twin
Volvo-penta 4 cyl. engines. What can anyone tell me about them. Fuel consumption. Reliability. Any other information. Thanks, Jim -- |

Thanks, Jim Diesels I assume? Volvo has always made good engines but replacement parts are very expensive and sometimes hard to find. Keep in mind that these are 31 years old and almost certainly have some issues lurking out there that will need some work sooner rather than later. You definitely need to find a good surveyor for both boat and engines but my recomendation would be to keep looking. Even if the engines are fine, a 31 y/o Bayliner is no bargain at any price. |

No. they're gas. Sorry I failed to mention that. Jim -- |
