Hi Guys
I'm looking at this boat as a first boat purchase. Want to get the 2 kids out on the water and do some tubing,knee boarding and progress to wakeboarding/skating.
This boat has the 3.0 OMC Cobra engine/drive. The boat looks to be in incredible condition and has been garage kept it's whole life.
What would the engine performance be like for my intended usage? I weight 183lbs, will it pull me out of the water ok?
I'm not worried about going flat out on the water and realize this boat would never achieve that. Just after a fun boat that doesn't break the bank and let's us work out if boating is for us.
This will be my first power boat but have had a yacht and sailing dinghies before. Also been around power boats through work association for 20yrs. I'm also fairly handy and restore muscle cars for fun, which is partly what draws me to this boat as I love the old school vibe it has.
Thanks for your help.
