Default Re: Volvo I/O question

Thanks guys

I've been on the phone with Doug Russell, actually spoke with him today. I know the guys at Cape Cod Marine, I live right down the road from them. Those 26's are pretty sweet boats! I'm looking to install myself with some help from a buddy who has more experience doing repowers. Looks like I'm going with a Volvo 5.0 GXi, 270 hp, fresh water cooled. I was on a friends Pursuit 25 with a FW cooled Merc last fall, and he had a heater hooked up from the hot water. Heat coming out of the cabin was nice! Now I'm trying to decide between single and duo prop.

blackfin26- what is the Merc 5.0 going in to?

Steve
