Hello,
We had an 18.6 foot Glastron with a 4.3 liter engine that was damaged in a storm and are shopping used boats to replace it. So far, I've seen mostly bowriders with 3 liter engines, and a number of them Bayliners in the 18 to 19 foot range. I was wondering if anyone can tell me how the power compares in that size boat with a 3 liter compared to the 4.3 liter in the Glastron we were used to.
I'm mainly concerned about skiing. We usually have 2 in the boat and one on skiis, around 140-160 lbs each, and we're wondering if we will notice a difference pulling up skiers if we go down to the 3 liter engjne.
Thanks!
