I have a Volvo 275 with trim and am thinking of upgrading to a duoprop. The drive I have available is a '95 or earlier. Will this be an easy swap or should I keep what I have?

The boat is the Magnum 25 that was for sale, I bought it yesterday. It has a rebuilt 350 and weighs ~4500lbs. Top end right now is ~40mph.

Thanks,
Scott

That should be an easy lower-unit only change. The duo-prop should get that heavy Magnum out of the water easier and cruise more efficently than with the standard lower unit, but don't expect to see an increase in top speed. You may want to save your money because the only real way to get that Magnum running faster is to install a big block. A 496/502 should be about right.

Congraulations on your Magnum purchase!
