    What’s wrong with Volvos (unless of course they are composite drives)?

    Interesting. I didn’t experience that but maybe things are different south of the border.

    @YYZRC - That's what everyone says anyways.  I've never owned a VP boat.

    I think it’s worth researching further before dismissing entirely. Other than the comp drive issues, I have never heard/experienced problems.

    i have had both bravo driven boats and VP driven boats, at this point i would pay more for a VP boat then a Merc boat. 
    I have done bravo uppers, lowers, steering pins, and entire transom assemblies. I just feel VP puts out a better engineered product.
    Just my thoughts...

    The XDP composite drive fiasco really hurt Volvo-Penta's reputation in the U.S. The Ocean X I replaced mine with seven years ago has been a solid performer and trouble-free. The engines of that era are just GM small or big blocks same as Merc.

    However Merc is clearly dominant and better known by mechanics, especially outside major cities. V-P genuine parts are pricey, that is true, and so I try to find alternate sources if they are just rebranded AC-Delco parts as some are, as an example. Andy.
