Awesome history Don. I had a 79 23 with an original diesel jack shafted to an out drive. It came with a Volvo motor in the big console. I don't doubt that at the time your boat was built it was the only one. I agree with Sandy that the Volvo motor was the factory diesel used as an inboard and over 50 were built, and yours was the 1st. They all seem to be mostly up north.
