Old Volvo
Looking at a semi vintage boat 1968 with a Volvo Penta 130 Engine.
Model: AQ130C / 250. Fresh water use only running condition. Are parts still available for an I/O of this age? LdB |

The AQ130C is a workhorse engine if not run too hard and maintained properly. I'm running a rebuilt AQ130C in a 1972 17' runabout...the boat has never performed better than it does now. |
