Thanks for the add! We have a 2008 36SS. We bought it new on Lake Winnipesaukee NH and moved it to Boca Raton FL in 2010. Moved again to Cape Coral FL in 2016. We love this boat! We love it in spite of the multiple engine problems we've had with the Volvo Pentas - including initial warrantied issues when it was new. In fact, we are currently down an engine and in replace mode.
Looking forward to sharing experiences and learning from this group!

Welcome to the group. Small world, my brother lives in Bedford NH and we share a vacation condo in Ft Myers Beach. He frequents Lake Winnipesaukee quite frequently.

Re: New Member from Cape Coral FL
Welcome aboard. Don't know how I missed your first post last year.
Interesting about the Volvos, they're usually pretty reliable builds but every brand has some black sheep now and then, it just sucks when you end up with one. Are you able to post serial numbers for them? I'm curious to see their history and check for any campaigns that may not have been looked after and are contributing to your issues. This should be a common part of the diagnostic chain but is often overlooked. If the facility isn't an OEM dealer, Volvo in this case, they might not have access to that info and are missing a critical contributor to the problem that might be an easy fix.

Re: New Member from Cape Coral FL
Agree. Not a lot of hours on a Volvo. Then again...salt water life is different than fresh water. Welcome back to the active side of the neighborhood!
