Hello,
I am in the hunt for a Camano Troll. Most obviously have Volvo's. From my research, these are excellent engines but parts may be a bit more pricey or difficult to find quickly and finding a good mechanic could be tougher. We're in the Annapolis area so there seems to be plenty of options for mechanics but if we break down somewhere else this could be a problem.
I won't pass on a boat because of Volvo, but because of these difficulties, is it worth looking for one with a Yanmar? Assuming all else is equal between boats, will the Yanmar potentially be cheaper to repair and easier to find mechanics for?
Any performance differences between the Volvo and Yanmar?
Thanks
