Re: Help - Used Boat 1995 Larson or 1989 Baja Islander - what should I buy?
If the condition is the same, then the Larson, hands down. As everyone has already pointed out, V6 OMC is not only underpowered but also not made anymore, so parts are gonna be hard to find. Not the engine itself, but the accessories and outdrive components. Larson is much larger and its powerplant is still being produced today and a lot more were made, so parts are more abundant. Not that the Cobra is terrible, just hard to get parts for it when it breaks, and being over 20 years old, you can count on that happening.
