It cost too much, weighed too much, and wasn’t faster than a verado boat with more engines.

I liked the engines and the concept overall though.

They were like 80-90K each......Pricey when you need 4-5 of them!

HCB used them frequently, Nortech did a few boats with them. I'm shocked Volvo didn't try to sell the brand to someone else rather than just closing up shop.

I loved the flag blue with red boot stripe 47 intrepid that had 4. They fit the boat perfect.

Stefan Edberg was a great tennis player, ABBA was a huge phenomenon, IKEA is still booming and Volvo pioneered the duo prop but how did the Swedes ever think they could compete with the American muscle of Mercury?

Must have been dreaming. 😊

If you'd have told me I'd ever hear the name Stefan Edberg again I'd have told you I really don't think so. But, NEVER would I have thought it would have been on OSO!!!!

"To do its part, Volvo Penta says it is significantly accelerating its own sustainability projects to reach zero emissions via fossil-free, renewable fuels, electric and hybrid technology."

What Kool Aid are they drinking over there?

I’m not surprised...seven was an expensive garbage product with tons of issues.
