Merc 5.0 MPI or Volvo 5.0Gxi/SX
 

I am looking at a Four Winns 225 Sundowner.
The engine choices I am considering a
Merc 5.0MPI Bravo 1 260hp (1 year warranty)
Volvo Penta 5.0GXi/SX 270hp (2 year warranty)

My gut says Merc cause I hear they are easier to get mechanics to fix or
less expensive parts.
Second part of question is if I go with more power, would a Bravo III prop
mean that much of a difference for this size boat?

I personally would go w/ the Merc due to mechanic and parts availability
down the road. The Bravo III would be a great option for this boat. You
would not be sorry.
