Actually the kad 300 pushes 285hp while the d3220 220hp . So he is loosing 130horses not 80 on both engines .
The midrange torque of a kad300 is also way superior .

The Beneteau spec says 260hp for the Antares, although as you say most sources including Volvo quote 280. Maybe the higher output is for the sterndrive version - the Antares is shaft. Whichever the D3 is not ideal for the boat

a friend of mine has twin D3's on a commercial 11m cat. During the summer, the engines run for 6 days a week for around 10 hours a day - he only runs at around 5-6 kts so they're not working hard. They're serviced (oil/filters) around every 3 weeks and the boat is dried on the slip 2-3 times a summer to service the outdrives. He has a spare engine on shore and can swap an engine out in around 4 hours. Currently both working engines are out and having a full strip down and overhaul - one of those engines was new in a crate and has only done 3 years since being taken out of the crate.
He rather wishes he had different engines.
