Default Pursuit 2460 Denali: Volvo or Merc preferred?

I'm considering a Denali 2460 in the 1997 - 2001 MY range. They are powered by Mercruiser 5.7 or Volvo 5.7 I/Os, both with dual props. Most I've seen are fresh water-cooled. Engine hours in the 250-500 range. I've heard Mercs are easier to find parts and repairs run cheaper. Have also heard Mercs have corrosion issues. Can anyone comment on overall reliability? Also, any difference on resale? Thanks.

I considered the same boat a couple years ago. I was told the same thing. Motors are basically the same, however much cheaper to repair the mercs. The Volvo has much better corrosion resistance I am told. I think it becomes 6 of one and a half dozen of the other. Maybe make the decision based on the quality of service available for one or the other in your area.
I settled on a Carolina with the Volvo
