2002 Volvo 3.0 Questions

[Willy.Fire]

Hi. Going to have a look at a 2002 starcraft with a 3.0 volvo penta in it. Im familiar with 4 cyl mercs but have no experience with volvo. Any tips what to look for listen for? Hours are around 200 and its claimed to be very well maintained original owner. I will do a test on muffs and lengthy water test. Hope it works out but would like to learn a little more about the volvos. Any direct links to a service manual for a 2002 3.0 I could read over? Thanks for any help. Happy Boating!!
