When it comes to duo-props, my choice would be Volvo Penta... The downside is that they are more expensive down the road if you should have a drive issue. But the drive choice is not all that would drive my decision.
Another point for me would really come down to the Marina that is going to service the boat for warranty work... I have heard equal parts good and bad for both Winnisquam Marine, and Fays..... Now being on the north side of the lake for me, I would chose the Chappy, because I can get it directly to Fay's on the water (assuming the warranty work not major mechanical, for which I would just take the boat to the nearest merc or Volvo authorized service, or trailer it to Fays)...For me to bring a boat to Winnisquam, means I have to trailer it even if it is for a minor non-mechanical issue. Hence I would let this have some weight on my decision as well....
In short I don't think you have an easy decision... I am sure on boat speak louder to you then the other... listen to that voice....
