Hey boys and girls ,I'd like to buy good used Volvo Penta 280 lower leg duoprop ..... does anyone on here have one that he or she is willing to sell or trade ? Let me know please if you know someone

you could probably go to a single prop drive and save a lot of money and be easier to find. down side being the boat wont turn as easy at slow speed. makes docking a little harder. i sold a customer a dual prop drive and asked him how he liked it later and he said he didnt notice to much difference.

Bloodhound ,I liked your old sturgeon avatar better ......this is some kind of cat/giraffe freak :chuckle: Thanks for your reply ,I got 280 single and would love to get duoprop ....if you come across one let me know .... I'm getting bigger motor - that would be improvement by itself . Hopefully I can pull it off .....

ok i let you know if somethin shows up, but be prepared for sticker shock, those props alone are about 1200 bucks, and if you damage one past repairable you have to buy a whole new set. you cant buy just one prop because they are made as a matching set. and keep in mind that if you find a drive and its not propped correctly for your boat or doesnt come with props your gonna have that money to spend also.
