Stus-List Volvo Diesel - opinions?

2013-10-07 Thread Marek Fluder
I am looking into a larger boat purchase and found a Beneteau 331 with Volvo engine. I would be interested in hearing opinions about these engines especially in Toronto area - availability of decent service, parts, etc. Will appreciate all opinions including remarks about "cata-bene-huntalinas" :)
