Ok so I purchased this boat and was told it ran fine, I do have experience with boats but never a Volvo/Penta combo this one is equipped with the (AQ131D/ 290 outdrive) I took it out and put it in the river for a test run and it seemed to run fine until it stopped running period so I floated it back to the dock found a faulty fuel line was the issue and replaced it problem solved so I thought. But this was just the beginning, so I took it out for the second time and it immediately starts to overheat 30 yards from the dock I brought it back in and checked the fluid in the heat exchanger (what didn't overflow) and noticed the water strainer was bone dry. SO I pulled the impeller cover and Walla the impeller had grenaded so I ran over to the marina and grabbed a new one threw it in and took off again well made it about the same distance smh. took it back home yanked everything looking for impellor pieces the mainifold,heat exchanger,waterpump,thermostat,and hose inlet on the outdrive could not find any placed all seals and new thermostat and water pump for good measure, so I finally got it to start pulling water through the outdrive again and I take it out to the lake this weekend and at idle up to 2500 RPM no overheating will run all day but as soon as you put the throttle down it would steadily climb to max temp put would get up and plane out then about an hour or so of riding it stopped accelerating all together had to get back to the dock at about 10 knots with the throttle pegged I'm at a total loss still has stock prop and bone stock set up only modification is electric points ,new plugs ,wires, coil, hoses, seals and oil I'm scratching my head here don't know what else to do PLEASE Help
