35 Motion with Volvos??
 

I keep coming across this boat in my search for a cat:

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?

oops, Volvo lists those motors at 420 hp, not 440. My bad. But the ad says 470hp and I cant find anything on google that shows a volvo making 470 hp.

What kind of cat are you looking for?

An insurance friendly, fuel efficient, low maintnenance one :drink:

Wow that's cheap!!

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.

I think these are a Volvo version of the 496 mag, right?

Here you go....Everything you wanted..:coolcowboy:

All it needs is some paint or a wrap...:drink:

I looked at this boat (the 35' Motion in the ad) when it was at fastboats in Pompano.

insurance friendly and cat do not usually belong in the same sentence! LOL :eek:

That sounds more like a pontoon boat! :D
