The outboard they tested looks to be a Yamaha. It seems like with the Volvo, you get better acceleration and fuel economy, while with the outboard you get better top end speed, and easier maintenance.

The loss of the outboard is in the T-Top.....slows down by 7-8 knots

We have a1996 23' proline 351 Windsor with Volvo duoprops absolutely wonderful and last forever. Fast take offs and stops on a dime. Love, love ,love.

Whats the warranty comparison? Thats a manufacturers testament to the products reliability. Cost difference?

Outboard had a higher top speed. I'm assuming they used a lower end Outboard for this test. Something like an E-tec would have been game over.

many outboard makers used to make duoprop outboards but nobody wanted to sacrifice top speed for better acceleration. duoprop is great if you have a diesel engine and a heavy boat. but over 40 knots you just loose speed

Nice compare👍👍👍

This is about Comparing a single prop to a duo prop. Of course the duo prop will accelerate faster.

the comparisons are like this ... it is clear that with the DP the grip is better, the yamaha is not the best in the category, otherwise, they would not have compared it, in the end the maintenance costs of the DP, too high, wear out everything soon, especially the cones of the gearbox

This vedio is so true. I can confirm that I did same thing .I was on a centre console 18ft with Evinrude 150 ficht ram top speed 36 knots and my friend on a Sealine Ambassador 260 with 2x Volvo penta v6 vortec 205hp each. Out of the hole the centre console was 1st and in the first 3 minute run but the Sealine continued to advance more end passes and continued Going .when I push the throttle back the sealine was 50 metre ahead

One boat has a canopy one does not

But will the Volvo penta go 2-3 thousand hours with basic maintenance over a 10-20 year period while being used in saltwater? Maybe? Maybe not. Modern 4 stroke outboards do this on the regular.

yep but i still prifer the volvo penta

It’s be good if you showed the max revs for each engine and associated speed that way we would know if the outboard had the correct pitch.....just sayin.... 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🇦🇺🇦🇺

race boats dont have duo props so..

More inboard space? What the fuck, Volvo thinks we are idiots now

It seems sketchy

Try that with an evenrude e tec 300 instead and see the results.

I own a boat with a Volvo Duo prop and will agree with everything here except the very last statement. An I/O having more room in the boat for fun??? You guys are reaching on this one. So many great points and one stretch reduces the validity of the whole vid. Anyone whose ever been in both an outboard and a I/O boat knows that the outboard has more room in it for fishing, or lumber, or anything else you use a boat for. Even if you need a sundeck for your super hot wife... I mean, who here doesn't... one can be installed just forward of the outboard motor with concessions made for the tilt.

Not the same boat. Volvo definitely safe but also lies. LOL

price difference? 20000?

And? My 22’ inboard jet weighing in at 3200# can beat both of them.

Mantenimiento??? Precio inicial???

Wait a minute where are you guys getting these bs stats? Outboard that is less efficient than an inboard that ways twice as much as the outboard hmm

Why would you want an I/o especially a Volvo I/o check the cost of service on that set up vs outboards

Suzuki 350 has a duoprop and will smoke Volvo’s all day long

Outboard has a canopy, and only one prop. 🤦‍♂️

How well will it do against a Mercruiser diesel duo prop ?

Suzuki now makes a Dual Prop outboard , that might be a better comparison. This is like testing AWD vs RWD acceleration on a car.. the one with better traction always pulls ahead first

Conclusion: always trim your outboard down, for best acceleration from a stand still. C’mon guys !!

Need a life jacket Mr. Tuber. ;-)

Why would you not compare with an E-tec?

maintenace cost and reliability? initial price?

Outboard has a canopy. VP drive has none.

3:48 Yamaha 300Hp has blonde girl...Volvo Penta has none.

Bedrövligt att mannen i tuben verkar sakna någon form av flytväst.
