Volga Hydrofoils Messageboard

How sad.

Look on the aft fin on the center post for the boat number.

It's nice to see someone else in the USA has this boat. I live in FL and mine has an out board not the V drive. What does yours have?

It's nice to see someone else in the USA has this boat. I live in Fort Pierce, FL and mine has an in-board - out-board with a Volvo 280 duo prop out-drive not the V drive. The Chevy 350, 310 hp has way more power than I need but the price was right and parts are easy to find. What does yours have?

The new engine is a Chevy 350, 310 hp

This is my new blog with more info of the original boat

I found the build # 177 on the rear fin. I now have a Chevy 350 310hp and a Volvo 280 duo out-drive. At 30 statute mph 2500 rpm she burns 5.0 US GPH.

I did this 10 years ago and it still looks like new. this is not the same one but it is close you will have to make your own measurements. http://www.rubrails.com/flexible_vinyl.html Go to FVI-130/ INS-15 I cut C to match A then trimmed B on both sides for a snug fit. Once installed I added the Insert

I found a bumper at the marine store that was the correct size to fit but had a lip on the bottom so I cut it off, it fit perfect then I put the tube insert on the front and it looked like it was made to order.

I am almost finished with my restore and will take close up pictures of my trailer when it is done. I am in Fort Pierce FL. how about you?[/img]

I have a Volga 70 that I am restoring. Build # 177. I also have all the original paperwork in Russian & English ( Sea-going hydrofoil pleasure boat "VOLGA-70" Certificate, Operating and Maintenance Instructions ) the IO version

I put in a new engine so I have the old engine with most all good parts. Straight 6 Volvo diesel AQD32 110 hp and Volvo 270 lower unit out drive. skyboss1@comcast.net
