Hi all - been lurking for a long time and have learned a lot. I'm in the market for a mid 90's 20'-23' runabout for the family. I was dead set on the Merc 5.7 (or greater) and read most threads on the forum. Looking at a lot of boats.

Well, I found a real solid boat, 1995 21' Wellcraft Eclipse. Has everything I want feature and condition wise. Price is right too.

But has a Volvo Penta 5.8FL motor and outdrive. I'm up to speed in the Merc world, but I can't gauge if the V.P. is a motor one would want in their boat. Is this motor going the way of the OMC motors (hard to find parts/expensive), or is it on par with the Merc for service/parts?

The Outboard Marine Corporation (OMC) was a well-known producer of marine outboard engines and stern drives in the 1970s and 1980s, competing mainly with MerCruiser. Problems with the company's Cobra line of stern drives, however, resulted in a widespread recall in the late 80s and the company eventually went out of business. OMC engines and stern drives are no longer produced, but many are still used. OMC's 1993 line included several 5.8-liter outboard engines that differ only in their horsepower rating, which ranges from 235 to 290 horsepower. All other engine specs are identical. more

Step 1: Before cores are disassembled, we inspect each and every one and scrap any cores that are corroded in any manner that will prevent the engine from being just as durable as the new engines from the factory. Marine engines have to be tougher than your standard engine - we know this and choose only the best blocks, typically those used solely in fresh water.
