I have the Volvo package.

Do they really do as well as I have read with the dpx and innovations?

They do, Innovation builds a great motor, military spec, look at the alternator, it has 2 belts , and the DPX will out live a Bravo by years.

Did you buy it?

The last 38 built has 700 mercs is for sale and beautiful. Ac,gen. I had a factory furnished 33 with Volvo 600 dpx I used for dealer shows, poker runs, and Demo's. Outstanding in every way. Super dependable Innovation built engines but the drive as great as it is was the week link. Just to much blade area for all the torque. Same problem Blackhawk had if to much power. The Volvo 500dpx was not as hard on drives. Great engine in front of Bravo. I concidered buying the two engines that were for sale. They have a great cam bump.

I should add the drives if kept in the water are great. Just hard in a offshore boat.

I did!

You will enjoy your new ride. A great machine!!

Well done, great boats!

I have only run it about an hour so far as I have been extremely busy and weather is less than perfect however I like it so far. In dead calm water trim 4-5 a quick run from 50 mph holding it open for 25-30 seconds I saw 84 mph. I think some chop and maybe a tic more trim 85-86 should not be out of the question. It was spinning the 30p maximus 56-5700 rpm.

I am wondering if it will do any better turning them in rather than out.
