I have just looked at a second hand yacht which is fitted with a three cylinder turbo charged Volvo engine dating from 1991. I think the model is 2003T. I remember seeing (possibly in a magazine) comment that this particular model is prone to problems as it is basically a lower powered engine, souped up with a turbo, and is unreliable, and not so smooth running as a four cylinder. Any experiences would be appreciated. Should I look for a similar yacht fitted with a normally aspirated engine? Most of this model were fitted with Thorneycroft 35hp engines.
