We are looking at a trawler with a pair of the listed Volvos. They have 4300 hours and look well cared for. I am told the freshwater cooling system was just upgraded. I haven't seen or heard them run. My internet research looks like these engines are expensive to maintain due to parts availability and qualified people to work on them.

Bottom line, we like the boat. What is the life expectancy of the engines if maintained? How often are turbos replaced and anything else associated with repair replace?

Do we run from the engines or embrace them?

Thank you
