Volvo Penta 1972 250hp engine?

[davids0865]

Hi Peeps,

I am interested in a boat fitted with VP250hp engines of 1972 vintage and despite asking the broker twice what model I still have no more info, what could these be and what was the base engine?

Are they good/bad/indifferent, they have 3500 hours up, any info or advice gratefully received.

Thanks,

DS

I think a bit more info might help to obtain some responses. I am guessing the engines are 6 cylinder diesels on sterndrive ? Something like this...................

ps sorry the link does not work - enter 1972 in the year box to get a list of engines made at that time

Probably better asking the question on the Motorboat forum. More user of engine that size over there.
