Below is one corespondence I had with an outfit up in Oregon. I was looking for pricing and feedback regarding the same:
Thank you for your inquiry. The information below was provided by Volvo Penta. It looks like the D3 could work. The total cost for the package is $22,661. This includes the prop set and single station gauges.
The D3-190a DPS in a 23' 5000lb boat show a speed about 40.5mph with F6's. Realistic weight with fuel, gear, people etc. is more like 7000lbs, which slows it down to 32.5mph with F4's.
A 5.7Gi at 280hp with a DPS shows 46mph with F4's. And at 7000lbs more like 36mph
Thanks again,

Subject: Volvo D3 190 DP
What are you offering the Volvo D3 DP package for ($). Does the package include controls, gauges, and harness?
Also, I have a 23 Blackman Billfisher. The dry weight is approximately 4600 lbs. I presently have a 1995 Volvo 5.7 GSI DP approx. 260 hp. Will the D3 190 DP package work for this type of application?
Thanks,
Larry
