Volvo Penta's new 430-hp engine has been completely remapped from the
6.0 L block and contains some of the latest technology, including variable valve timing that allows to the engine to produce more low-end and mid-range torque as well as to give her a higher top speed. She has closed loop cooling standard on all engines and Duoprops lower units come standard. Then, there are the features which consider "user-friendly" -- things such as a fuse panel with spares, a paper oil filter, and 75 Amp alternator. But all of this is simply prelude.
