Volvo sterndrive ID??

[ted655]

:/We bought a 1984 Gibson houseboat. It has a 6 cyl. Volvo sterndrive diesel.
It is not where I live. In May we plan on an 800 mi. trip to bring her home.
I assumed all pertanent info ob the motor would be in our paperwork. WRONG. Nothing on the sterndrive at all. I started & ran it and visually inspected it. I am well satified in that reguard, but... I have no clue as to what size, model, etc of any of it. Motor or drive.
Gibson was hit with a tornado & pretty well wiped out & busy rebuilding. They atr not answering emails or phone calls for sometime to come. No help there.
I want to buy a prop and other spare parts before we go back up to Indiana to prepare it and start out. Dumb I know but any idea of a 84 Volvo sterndrive any body???
Thanks,:'(

Pictures would help, even taking the boat (if it's on a trailer) to ANY local Volvo Penta dealer, they could ID just by looking at it.
If you look on the engine just aft and below the fuel injection pump you will find a tag about 3" long and about 1/2" wide. It has the model number of the engine and the SN on it.
On the outdrive just below where the helmut attachs to the outdrive is a tag. What are the numbers on that tag?

Here are a couple links you can look at. The first one is with an AQAD40B with a DuoProp drive used in 83 and 84.

Perhaps a phone call could help retrieve the numbers.


Just a thought.
