Volvo DPX

[larby]

Hi all,

Anyone know of a DPX drive for sale, or where I could get one? Still not happy about running the Bravo on the back of my revenger, a breakage off rocks by sark could be very serious with my daughter on board and this looks like the answer to my prayers!

Anything considered!

Cheers, James

Hey Larby

There's only one that I know of in Guernsey...but its not for sale, sorry

Chris

[larby]

Ahhhhhhhh carp!

Keep yer' ear to the ground eh! Where's the one you know of?

Edit: I bet it's on the back of your frikkin Delta eh??

James

Forgot to mention a DPR drive would do too!

James

[Coronet Kip]

Yeah that's where it's going I'm afraid

[larby]

Ohhhhhhhh. Where did you find it?

I'm not sure I like you any more

I've noticed it's possible to get all the bits for SSM drives now too so even a #5 would be great, don't think I'd have the room for a 3A. Doubt I'll find one of those either though

Found it locally and it's new old stock

[larby]

Oooooohh. Fancy! I'm very jealous!

James, I've still got a virtually new DPX lower unit I'll sell but not the whole drive.

Hi Larby,

DPX will be easier to prop out, you seen the prices of Nibral props for DPR.

kips drive may have come from Wootner (Matt Roger) he did have one.

Maybe worth a call to Paul at Coastal Rides, he deals with s/h and recon VP Drives

all the ssm range need frequent and costly servicing with specialist tools that nobody seams to have in blighty, I have a dpx for replacing my volvo ssm when it goes bang i,m changing the oil every time i use it and keeping my fingers crossed

Would you PM me a price just in case I find an upper and transom assy?

Sure you don't want to sell it? If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it and where from? Trying to get an idea of what one would cost...

Cool, may do that.

I've got a couple of other options I'm talking to people about too. One way or another I'll find something strong enough!

Steve is right my DPX did come from Matt

dpx has a bent skeg and was free from local volvo dealer and the volvo ssm or e drive was on a 21 ft speedboat i brought then swaped the drive for a 270 volvo and resold for a bit more money to cover my time changing the drive,it had a lovely 3ltre straight six volvo competition motor with triple twin choke solex, which ran on 105 octane rated at 200hp standard and needed a fuel barge following you round
