Hey all, I'm looking at upgrading and the boat I'm looking at has a 1996 Volvo Penta 5.8 FSI, which was only made for 2 years, it is basically an OMC engine with a Penta DP outdrive.
Some places I've read say these are pretty reliable packages, other say run run run away, that parts are expensive or no longer available (and that nobody will work on them)
Anyone have recent-ish experience with this engine? Will I regret it because I won't be able to find any parts?
Thanks!
