My family has had the pleasure of operating a 1993 Tiara 270Sport Boat for the last 20 years. Theboat needs a lot of work. It has been instorage the last three years and we are concerned as to the boat’s seaworthiness. The boat was surveyed five years ago and wasfound to be solid. The Twin Volvo Penta 570’s with Type C DuoProp are in roughshape. The drives are extremely pittedand both drives and trim are leaking oil. The 5.7 liter engines ran very well. 4 years ago we rebuilt the carbs and flushed the fuel system includingthe fuel tanks.
I am looking for options.
I have priced new volvo parts (drive $15K/drive, trim $1,600 in cylinders)
Can we replace the outdrives and trim systems with Mercruiserdrives. What would this entail.
Transom Shield, Drive, engine rework, linkage, electrical, controls, ect
I have several boat repair shops in our area I just want tohave a real scope of work and options.

Peace,
Jim
