Hey guys I am new to boating and I recently purchased a 1996 wellcraft eclipse boat. It is equiped with a Volvo Pinta 3.0 inboard and volvo pinta sx cobra outboard drives .Well I purchased the boat with a locked up motor and was hoping to purchase a new motor and replace it during the winter. The problem is I dont see any 3.0 Volvo Penta motor on ebay. I see the mercruiser 3.0 and I have asked about 6 ppl if The mercruiser is the same motor . 3 of them say yes and the other 3 say no. I am freeking confused man . Can I used a 3.0 mercruiser motor in place of its Volvo pinta without headaches? Is The mercruiser the same motor as the Volvo pinta? I really will appreciate all the helpI can get with this .
Thanks Reggie
