Hi

I am looking at buying a non current 216 ssi. I have a choice of drives. Both boats are 5.0l. One is a 260hp mpi merc bravo iii. The other is a Volvo gxi 270 hp sx single prop.

Top speed is a factor for me.

What do you think is the best choice and why?

Get the mercury. Volvo parts can be a pain to get and their dealers can be few and far between. I have a 5.0 GXi and been waiting 6 months for a U-joint and the dealer is a ripoff..
