Yea seen that my last mariah was a 1997 with a 4.3 not sure on Volvo's. Pretty sure it is a 3l as well

I think you will be just as happy with the Volvo as you would with the Mercruiser. Both are reasonably reliable and well built units.

I'm inclined to agree with you. There are better deals out there at this time of year.

Don't get the 3.0L
You'll be found wanting the 4.3L. Happens all the time.

VP V's Merc?
The motor's are basically the same.
The big difference between the VP and the Merc, is the outdrive.
In my opinion the SX drive if a far me refined package than the Alpha I leg.
Nothing wrong with the Alpha I Gen 1 or 2. (if you can live with the crash gears)
