While living in Parker, Colorado, we had a 1989 16' Invader Bowrider I/O. It had two back-to-back seats and seating in the bow. One time we had 4 adults and 1 child onboard, but mainly it was just wife and myself. I was able to pull two skiers up, but had to push the throttle all the way forward to get them up. The engine was a Volvo Penta 4 cylinder.
Our boat now is a 1992 Celebrity 20' Cuddy and we've had 5 adults on that at one time. Three on the bench seat next to the engine and one in each seat in front. Even with a 350 I/O engine, I could still feel some drag going. When it's just wife and I, I can get the boat up on plane in no time. This thing can fly thru the water. Really want to have it taken to Colorado when we move back next year.
