Question about new boat

[snoop03]

I am looking into buying a 2009 bayliner 185 flight series with the 3.0. I was just wondering what you guys think i was told the 2009 is a great boat. Enough power? and just over all what do you guys think and if any reviews with the 3.0 mercruiser.

i would spend the money of a 4.3, if you are into water sports. they 2009 are great boats. have you ever heard anyone complain they have too much horsepower.

is the 3.0 sufficient enough for just some family skiing.

yes as long as there are not too many in the boat. but kids want to bring friends, etc.

The flight series is a great boat.
The one i tested had the 5.0 engine and had great power.
In my opinion the 3.0 would be way under powered for that boat.
At least get the 4.3,i feel it would do a nice job with the 4.3 setup.
Resale value would be much better with the 4.3 or 5.0 also.
Here is a link to my review...
