Since it is new to you we can call it a new boat…

Welcome Aboard!
Which IG model do you have? I had a 1981 36 with twin Lehmans for 10 years. Still a fan, now have a related 2005 Integrity 386.
Yes, there will be things to fix, fortunately you have the skills, but feel free to bowl up any issues others might have been through.

Volvos have a bad reputation regarding parts but they cant be all that bad.

Welcome Aboard.

Welcome aboard, but as we always end up saying here, :If you don't send us some eye candy, do you really have a boat?"
