I just repowered my cat and have 2 volvo MD2020's for sale. Both have 1300 hours but one is in need of complete rebuild. the other is pretty much perfect. they both come with sail drives. New these babys are around 6 grand each without the saildrive. I'll take $3,000 for both. Lying in Riviera Beach FL. Will send pics if desired.

Hi, I am interested in more information about your MD2020's. I am really in the market for only one unit; will you separate them? Can you tell me more about why one failed and one didn't with about the same hours and the same use? Thanks!

My thought was that one might be interested in the failed one for parts, but I am open. The one that failed according to Volvo was due to an exhaust set up that applied excessive back pressure eventually causing blow by. I saw the dissesembled engine and the blow by was definately there. The other good engine had a different exhaust routing. I had them check the compression and it was excellent. In addition the 'good' engine always ran better and started easily. If no one buys it I will probably buy an engineless boat at some point and install it. I also have both saildrives in very good condition. I had to buy new ones to get a longer warranty on the engines. If you want to know more I can give you the name and number of the Volvo mechanic.
