1983 Volvo 280T Drive, painted black

Hi Kent:

Sorry to hear that your boat is no longer for sale!

Nevertheless, would you perhaps reconsider, keeping your drive, as I would prefer
mating your engine with perhaps a more proven drive such as a OMC King Cobra ?

I do have cash with buyers ready!

Best regards,
Randy

Randy, I thought both the King Cobras and Merc Bravo's copied the Volvo clutch design after Volvo's patent ran out?

Actually the boat is staying with me. I was just going to raise the X, but since I will have the drive out....might as well take the next step.

A friend of mine swapped his 280T for an Alpha SS and a Mercruiser 320EFI. Man, that really woke up thar boat!

Posted some pictures. The prop is not included. I might sell the props later.

Several have Emailed me on price. Not sure the market value. Not sure about the market value. I would like to get around 2K, for drive, Transon Assy, Pump, bell housing, flexplate. I'll take less.

I can separate, crate, ship etc. Just send me an Email with what you want and how much you want to offer. We'll go from there. As soon as I get everything removed, I'll put everything on Ebay.

I HAVE decided to do the Bravo deal with a higher X.

Just posted on Ebay. The "Buy it now" is only if you really need it. The reserve is not that high.

Drive only -

Kent,

Just wondering how effective the nose cone was. My Magnum has a 275 that I am told is a real "drag". Would the cone help a lot or is it a lost cause with the Volvos?

TIA

I had a nosecone that was apparently not installed very well and lost it last year. I was running 62 with the original nosecone. When I lost the nosecone top speed dropped to mid to upper 50's. I re-installed a new nosecone, made sure it was very straight and clean, top speed with all esle the same went to 63.

With a nosecone you will also see considerable steering control.

Bids end tommow on my Volvo 280 w/Hydraulic trim and nosecone!!!

Although the drive says it has not met the reserve the transom assy has. The drive is pretty close to the reserve and I will probably let it go with whatever the highest bid is. The drive is still pretty cheap right now guys.

Go Bid!!
