Volvo 3.2 litre any good?

[Robj]

Hello there,

Came across another boat that I am/was considering until I was told that it had a 3.2 litre Ford engine. I think I will walk away from this one. Any comments or is it worth looking at?

Thanx for your input and have a great day,

Rob.

Volvo never had a 3.2L Ford, not even sure if there is such a thing. However, OMC did use a 2.3L Ford for a few years. If it is actually a Volvo 4 cylinder engine, come up with a model nuimber, not engine size. It will start with AQ and have model number and usually a letter after it. Example AQ125B

I never heard of a 3.2 litre either that is why I was asking. Just called the guy again and it is a 4.3 litre, which is a Chevy not Ford like he told me. May have to go and get another toy.

Have a great day,

Rob

Maybe you ought to go look it it. Could be a Gem, improperlly described.
PS: Don't even ask him about the maintenance, there wasn't any. Can't get parts if you don't know what it is. BUT, if he had a dealer service it ??????

If everything works out, hopefully I will be dragging another home tommorrow. You can never have too many toys.

Have a great day,

Don't matter anymore. The guy pulled the ad, and has not returned my calls, did speek to him a few times though. Would have been a great toy. 1995 Excel, 21', with 4.3 l VP for $3k. Sounded too good to be true and I guess it was. Oh well, just have to keep looking, because having only two boats is not enough!!

Have a great day,

Rob.
