Have heard "not good" things about the Volvo. This one has 1900 hours and looks to be in good shape, but have not seatrialed yet. What specific problem areas should I look out for and what problems in the future should I expect? Regards, Bob "Leanne" wrote in message ... "Ken Coit" wrote in message . com... Presuming you were looking to buy a used boat, which engine would you rather see in her: Remanufactured Perkins 4-108 New BetaMarine 1505 New Yanmar 3JH3E I would go with the Perkins, but if I had to buy new, I would like the Yanmar. I was on a boat for 5 years that had the Perkins. My own boat, I tossed a Volvo and replaced it with the 3GM Yanmar. Kubota is a good engine also. Leanne s/v Fundy |
