Hi,
I'm new to this forum and I was hoping I could get some feedback. I'm in the process of doing a 6 feet upgrade and one of the boat I'm considering is a 2006 Monterey 350 SY. The boat itself is in good order and has been very well maintained and the boat is a fresh water only boat.
My concerns are arround the engines and drives option. The boat is equiped with 8.1 Volvo OSi-B with raw water cooling. The boat was also originally equiped with the infamous XPS drives, but both drives were replaced with DSP-A drives in the fall of 2011. The engines have approx 160 hrs.
Now everyone I know who has, or had, Volvo engines were all diesel or 8.1 GXI with closed cooling.
Does anyone has any comments to offer on the OSi serie engines? And how well do they work with the DSP-A drive?
Thank you
Pat...
