Post sportfish 42-47 foot with Detroits

I know of a 50 Post that has Series 60s

I know someone with a 1997 that has 692s

It may not be that easy to pick a certain year. I'm sure there were a few years of choosing between Detroits\Volvo\Mann\Cummins based on the model. But as a rule, late 90's seems to be the end of 2 cycle Detroits for Post and Ocean.

I like my Volvo's. Pretty efficient. TAMD 73 P. The only thing I don't like is the early ECU modules have a tendency to go bad due to moisture and are expensive to replace and program and my port is very sensitive to temperature dips below 55 degrees. I think it is a slight voltage issue due to temp but can eventually get it started from a cold start once engine room warms.

1999- 42

950 on each. I but 80 -100 Hrs a year on them.

By the way, I'm in no way complaining about the motors as they are fuel efficient run clean and have plenty of power to move the boat and are extremely quite on the troll compared to Caterpillars, Detroits and the like. The ECU is the only issue I've had in 5 years and bought it that way, but is really only an issue when I launch cold and in November when the boat can sit for a couple weeks between runs.

Ill be cleaning the connections this spring because they are very sensitive to voltage drop, and even a little corrosion creates enough impedance in cold temps.

I looked a a number of boats when shopping and the Volvo's are common in 42 post 1998's through 2001. I believe all the Models above 42 have larger power plants and you will not find them with the Volvo's in these years.

Bill, Dave Parker has a 50 with 8-92's that he's had for 10 years. Give him a call about it. It's 50' hull #1
