I am new to the world of boating and am interested in buying a new 16 ft Bowliner Elements with 60 HP Mercury, alternatively a Bowrider 160 with 90 HP Mercury. The Bowrider is fitted with a carpet mounted on the inside floor. I am concerned that this carpet could create problems down the line if it doesn't dry out completely. The boat will be stored indoors without a cover. The 60 HP motor seems a bit underpowered. Does anyone have any advice which would be the better buy? - (both are close in price).
Thanks so much for any advice.
