No serial number Frankenstein boat

[Bluecord]

Hello all. I recently acquired a boat and haven't had time to hook it up and drive it into the shop. So im wondering if there are any Volvo Penta I/O aficionados, or smarter than me, that can ID this outdrive!?!? Im thinking a 290 upper and a 275 lower? there is no ID tag and its not the original outdrive for the boat. its being pushed by a GM350 (i believe!!! i havent gotten the id off of the motor yet). Any help would be appreciated!!! (dont you just love the painted prop! lol)

Yes, it looks like 270 mated to a 290. It may have originally been a Duo Prop model lower. Try to post more pictures of the engine also along with the inside of the transom area.

its a DP-A upper with what looks like an early 270 lower (the DPA is basically a 290)

what motor is in it?

Thanks for the Info gentlemen! It seems to be working fine as of now. I took it for a little putt in some fresh water. Carb needs to be freshened up a little. Came home and ran a gallon of seafoam and fuel through it. I will check exactly what motor is in it after i run the numbers tonight. Its on a '78 Silverline 22ft and had it up to 35mph, so not too bad in my book!
