I thought we'd beat this horse, but the simple fact is, Merc is better.... now bring on the hate mail!

And for you Mercruiser vs. Volvo combatants, this is how the readers see it.
Mercury Marine was named favorite outboard manufacturer and favorite sterndrive manufacturer by Trailer Boats magazine readers in the first-ever Readers Choice Awards this November.
Quote:
According to Trailer Boats editors, MerCruiser easily won the sterndrive category.
“MerCruiser ran away with the category by an overwhelming number of votes, making it very clear that Trailer Boats readers favor the black drives,” the editors wrote in the November/December issue.
MerCruiser’s impressive lineup of more than 20 sterndrives includes the popular Alpha One and Bravo series. The offering of optional features like Axius control system and best-in-class SeaCore corrosion protection further sets the MerCruiser brand apart from the competition.
Not the most scientific study ever done, but at least it is from actual baoters and not just sales figures and dealer sales speak.

You still have about a month of decent weather here. You just need to take advantage of every nice day.
Did you order the boat or just take what Spicer's had coming in ? If you did order it, curious why you picked Mercruiser power over the Volvo ?

The Volvo was one way I could not have gone. Just imagine pulling into the dock (for gas, of course), with the Corsa exhaust reverberating across the cove. All eyes on you, and the gas attendant sipping a beer between puffs of his cigarette says "what's you got in that?". Spitting back with a "It's a Volvo" is likely to make him spill his beer, and drop his cigarette into the gas he's spraying all over in confusion with a resulting fire and Hollywood explosion. Where as, if the response is "350 Magnum!" or, in my case, "377" he's likely to reply with a "Wow", or a simple grunt of acknowledgment without the catastrophe detailed above. So, understand, I did it for safety sake.
I hope that helps!!!
