Value of Penta sterndrive...

[swcejk2002]

Hello forum.....I came across a Volvo Penta 280 stern drive in pretty good shape. From what I know the boat was pretty old but the drive had been replaced. I checked the oil and it looks good. Overall it looks pretty good. I would like to sell it, but I don't know what to ask for it. Any thoughts? Thanks

Junk prices.
Volvos cost a lot to fix, used ones sell cheap because they are worn out or full of water or just don't work.
Most buyers listen to the seller and get burned. Wrong gear ratio, won't fit, and on and on.
Changed gear lube 2 years ago, oil still looks good. Never been in water.

Used drives are a way of makeing a bad situation worse.
