just the job for up there, the none canal bits of the caley (ie loch ness) can be rougher than the sea - quite a bit so
very comfy boats and unusually for motor sailors have a cockpit plenty big enough to fish fromʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ.

Yes the VW engine is Volkswagen, that was commonly fitted to Arvors until recently.Originally posted by Norman View Postjust a point to clear here, what does everyone mean by the VW engine ?
I have a volvo penta marine .... VW is volkswagon ?

Yer spoke with a dealer today about this and all of the above is correct, they had such issues with them they now no longer make them that model with that design of engine and some insurance companys wont cover you for them.
The Volvo Penta engines seem to be a good engine if the engineers word is anything to go by and the is Nanni rated the best but i have a Nanni 4.2 and i know how hard it is to get parts and the cost is not cheap, mind they are built like a tank well a tractor as that is what they are from.
As stated search will go on for many months yet and i can see a few trips down the south coast and south west coast in the next 12 months.Last edited by northeast1; 09-06-2010, 09:20 PM.................__................................ .............................

nanni engines are just kubota engines marinised
buy kuboto parts they are the same but saddled with the word 'marine' so a lot cheaper
lots of commercial boats out there with volvo lumps that put thousands of hard hours on and keep goingʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ.
