35 Motion with Volvos??
I keep coming across this boat in my search for a cat:
http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o30271-en.html
My concerns with the boat is that its terribly underpowered. Am I right in saying this? I know VERY little about Volvo motors but it would seem a 35' boat would need more than 440 hp/side to really get it moving..
What kind of speeds would one expect out of a 35' bravo boat with 440hp motors?
Seems like it would be a VERY bulletproof/efficient/insurancefriendly combination...
Ive considered calling on the boat a number of times but its still just a few $$$ out of my reach...
Any thoughts on this?

I seem to remember that the volvo 500HP (470HP) engine's like the ones in this boat were build by Innovation Marine. I could be thinking of a different engine but for some reason I beleive these were the ones. They were build very similar to the 500HP mercury engines.
