I am looking at 3200 open's 2005 to 2007. Many of them come with the Volvo D6 I have seen one with the Cummins but that one is under deposit. Anyone have any experience with the Volvo D6's?

Agree with sans about BoatDiesel but I’ll also caution you to take any opinion with a grain of salt. According to some, my 3208 is either hot trash or will last forever if cared for. So far, I’ve not had a single issue with the old girls.

Thanks guys. MC1600 I completely agree. Just like everything else. If well taken care of odds are the engine will take care of you. The biggest issue I have found with the Volvo's is supposedly parts are harder to come by. An acquaintance of mine is a diesel mechanic on heavy construction. He loves the Volvo's. He said look around at construction sites and tell me how many Volvo's you see. Well I have seen many in the last few days
