Kind of depends on which Volvo 4 cyl engine you are talking about, what year it is, and what you have heard that is "That Bad" about them. <br />Way too general a question for any kind of serious answer.

Give or take the have about the same power as the chevy 4cyls but are quieter and alot smoother. However, depending on where you are parts may be harder to get, and there are several models that do not have a choke. Can make cold starting a little more tedious.

Re: Just need an answer

Think about it there bulldog, it's a 21 foot boat with only a 4 cylinder engine, probably an AQ125 engine (115 or 120 hp depending on rather an A or B model). Todays boats in the 21 foot range run 4.3L V6 or V8 engines. The boats were very lightly built so they would go with the little 4 cylinder engine, but the hulls are a semi-displacement design and were designed for speeds in the 15 to 20 mph range.<br />If you were planning on water sking or wake boarding, tubing etc, forget it. If you was wanting a boat for fishing with only two or 3 people on board, they will work fine.<br />The drives are bullet proof and with care will last forever. The engines are expensive to buy parts for but run great when kept tuned up.
