The volvo drives are not anywhere near the quality they used to be famous for, seals are very leaky(bad personal experience with 3 sx duoprop drives). The Bravo 3 is supposed to be a great drive and I agree with kmoose, the duoprop format is perfect for the 25.
The 25 is so sharp and deep that the available calculators probably don't calculate top speed correctly. I agree with you on speed.

Engine rebuild memory
Hi Xcomunic8d
Your plans for rebuilding the engine brought back fond memories. In late 1969 I bought a ’68 Corvette which I owned for 30 years. About 1984 I did a rebuild of the 350 Hp 327 where I replaced about everything except the block, crank and connecting rods. I took my time and did some things that may not have been necessary like line boring and balancing of parts; but wanted no regrets when I was done and in the event I never rebuilt another- which I never did. The engine was still quite strong when I was hit in 1999 by a Suburban totaling it. A funny thing though, right after the initial engine firing my heart sank when I saw antifreeze leaking. My relief when I realized I had installed the thermostat by hand to keep the threads clean when I painted the cylinder head. BEST WISHES
