Sounds like a volvo to me. Not really a bad thing, I'm no expert on volvos, but i think some of the volvo drives are pretty strong and reliable. Definitely old school technology, deep running drives for sure. If you were going to replace the transom, it may be worth changing to a merc, otherwise it just enjoy it as-is!

If the transom is soft, or you are planning other work, that is the perfect time to do it. |

Well you guys arent going to believe this one but.. Im not buying the boat. He has had problems with the outdrive, that and no t&t, I really wanted to update the outdrive but theres no way in hell Im gonna cut onything on that boat. Because I had to agree to sell it back to him if I was ever to get rid of it and it not being a totally family friendly boat well, it isnt coming to my house because the wife leaving me over it would just cost more than that boat would ever be worth. :eek:
Anyway, heres some pics just for the hell of it.. http://mysite.verizon.net/vze21fin/s...G.w300h225.jpg http://mysite.verizon.net/vze21fin/s...G.w300h225.jpg http://mysite.verizon.net/vze21fin/s...G.w300h225.jpg http://mysite.verizon.net/vze21fin/s...G.w300h225.jpg http://mysite.verizon.net/vze21fin/s...G.w300h225.jpg |

There are options aside from the TRS. A Konrad Drive is one option. Let me know if I can be of assistance. |

He said he was already a member of this site so I told him to check this thread out. He could use some knowledgeable help with the boat for sure. Rod, you seeing this yet? |
