Re: Volvo I/O Drive Train in 20' Sea Craft
The 280 drive is a fabulous drive, bullet proof if its taken reasonable care of. However, if its not good when you get it, it can be phenomenally expensive to repair and you only want the very best to put their hands on it. Watch out for hydraulic leaks in the trim cylinders and make sure the "pop-up" mechanism (allows the drive to rise when you hit something), is in good shape. Those are the two common problem areas in that drive, at least that I know of.
I'm not familiar with 1/0s in a 20 ft seacraft, but it should be very good if its not tail heavy. Low center of gravity is always a good thing.
