The DPX is a bullet-proof drive with built-in steering. I wouldn't let it scare me off. Good motor too...

When you look at re-sale the volvo will always sell much slower and for less money. Not that its a bad drive just an odd ball on a performance boat. On top of its a dou-prop design which would limit any possible performance gains down the road.

I definatley would not let the volvo be the deal breaker on that boat. I know some people that have had or still have one and I've never heard any complaints.

The 270 will never be a speed demon anyway. i drove one with a 454 MAG/Bravo III and the III made a big difference in planning and docking. It might limit the top end by a couple MPH, which most spend very little time running at anyway. I agree the Volvo does affect resale somewhat. If you are going to keep the boat, it really doesn't matter.
