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?

I can't speak for the 250 outdrive, but most parts are readily
available for the AQ130C engine, albeit not always cheap. 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.
