:) hey there, lucky me I have bought an old swiftcraft seagull that has a Volvo Sterndrive. It is an AQ115a/100 what i would like is to talk to someone who has or has owned one of these old girls. The boat is in good cond and is worth the effort to get right. Any ideas /. Cheers, Bert

;) Yep, but not too well, It had been sitting for a long time and when started by the previous owner it had blown the head gasket. This has been replaced and the head stripped and rebuilt, when I got it home and took off the rocker cover the valve clearances were huge and having adjusted them, the timing and points plugs leads etc, it now looks like the carb may need a cleanout/adjust. What enormous pleasure already!! :). I like the old girl tho and will persue the minor o/haul until she runs like it should. Cheers, bert
