The out drive is a Volvo 200 and the engine is a Buick maybe a 225. I haven't found a lot of information on that yet. I had an old jeep with the Buick V6 engine. It ran well but always rich. I like Mercruser out drives, I have a lot of experience with them. The transom is one of the few places there is wood and it looks soft. The transom plate bolts have collapsed or dimpled the Fiberglas.
If I have to redo the transom, then I can use any drive I want. I like the Original V6 Buick idea though. I could mate it to a Merc out drive. I need to ponder and research power options.
