BIGGER IS BETTER

Get the bigger engine, it helps when u need the power and when u sell.

Yeah, but...

... the standard Volvo engine on the 423 is a 55HP, high-torque/low rev Volvo. Every review on the boat mentions the quietness and speed under power of the 423 with the Volvo. I completely agree that in almost all cases, bigger is better. This may be the exception. Full discolsure: I have a 423 on order and it will have the Volvo engine in it.

Volvo vs. Yanmar

It's all about personal preference. There are benefits to both engines. Congratulations Joe on the new boat - the only 423 I've been on has the Volvo and it runs very smoothly. Best, Trevor
