Hi there,

I'm new to boating (just bought an island property) and am looking to buy a used boat. There's a 2005 190 Seaswirl bowrider for sale for $18k CDN and I'm wondering if it's a good buy or not. It's for a lake that's five miles long (two arms -- both about five miles) and to take teenagers waterskiing, tubing and wakeboarding.

Thanks in advance!

I have a 1998 Seaswirl Striper 21' dual console(very similar to bowrider) with a 150HP outboard. The boat holds 8 people comfortably, and can easily pull a tube or skiier with those 8 people onboard, watching.

I would recommend at least a 115 HP outboard, or a 4.3L sterndrive on that boat. It should work well for your purposes

Hey, Island Girl. Go for it!

I have just recently bought a 2000 195 BR Seaswirl and I am loving it. It has the Volvo 4.3 V6 SX I/O 190 HP motor and this, even with eight occupants, "snatches" a skier out of the water in no time.

Have fun.

No doubt about it. Buy it before someone else does.You've posted awhile ago so it's probably gone now if you did't take it.
I have a 2003 190 and we have a blast with it. It only has a 3ltr 4 cylinder but it cruses at 42 mph and I've had six tubes on with 8 kids ranging from 10 to 18. I don't have a big lake here but thats fine. You don't need a large lake to have fun. Good luck:)
