the volvo set-ups have the "Volvo" built by Innovation Marine 600s which are 560 hp at the props running thru DPX duo-prop drives. My boat with that set-up runs a solid 90 everyday with a best of 93.4 w/ volvo E-4 props. The Vovlo DPX set-up boats also handle significantly better than the Bravo driven boats. I know, I have owned both set-ups with a couple hundred hours on the bravo boat before purchasing the volvo driven boat.

I would, and DID, cause the Volvo stuff is better than the standard Merc stuff. Whats in a name, its about what is better. The DP drives are stronger than Bravos and my motors are really built by Innovation. Which would you rather have
