1993 Beneteau First 310 -Question

[miamisailor]

Me and my wife are thinking about buying a 1993 Beneteau First 310. It has a Volvo 18H engine. Does anyone have any comments (pros and/or cons) as to this model? I have heard some concerns with the Volvo engine. Thank you!!!

We have two Beneteaus, both with Volvo-Penta diesels. They are reliable and quiet. The knock against them is that parts are more costly than Yanmar. That's probably true but I would not let it factor into my boat buying decision. Oh, change the impeller every year.
