Supporting Grae’s Auto and Marine with Volvo Penta Marine Engines in Gippsland

Aqua Power Marine was proud to attend the Paynesville Classic Boat Rally, Victoria’s premier classic boating events, where we supported our local Volvo Penta dealer, Grae’s Auto and Marine.

Held in the heart of the Gippsland Lakes, the event brings together classic boat owners, marine enthusiasts, and industry professionals to celebrate craftsmanship, restoration, and life on the water.

For Aqua Power Marine, it was also an opportunity to showcase some modern Volvo Penta marine engines.

At this year’s rally, we displayed two very different Volvo Penta engines to demonstrate the versatility of modern marine propulsion systems.

430HP V8 Stern Drive

Our 430HP petrol engine attracted strong interest. With advanced electronic controls, smooth throttle response, and impressive torque output, this engine represents the evolution of modern marine petrol technology.

For owners of sports cruisers, performance boats, and larger recreational vessels, high-horsepower petrol options continue to offer:

  • Light weight power
  • EVC controls 
  • Joystick options

Events like the Paynesville Classic Boat Rally provide the perfect setting to discuss how today’s propulsion systems can be integrated into both classic and contemporary hulls.

D1-13HP Volvo Penta Compact Diesel 

We also showcased a 13HP compact diesel engine, ideal for:

  • Small displacement vessels
  • Sailing yachts
  • Classic timber boats

Compact, fuel-efficient, and engineered for longevity, this engine sparked conversations with owners seeking simple, dependable marine diesel solutions.

Many classic boat owners are exploring modern diesel upgrades to improve reliability and reduce ongoing maintenance, and this engine is a perfect example of how compact marine diesels have evolved.
