Noticeably better performance?

[ChrisW23]

OK all, looking for more input...

Looking a upgrading from an 18' Sea Ray bowrider with a 4.3L V6, 190HP MERC, to a 20' Sea Ray bowrider with a 350 MAG MPI and twin SS props.

Am I going to have a much different driving experience with this motor/prop set-up? For both general cruising and towing a tube or wakeboarder?

Thanks!

Ayuh,.... I'm guessin' the 4.3l is runnin' through an Alpha drive,..??

If so,.... Ya,... Night, 'n day differences...

Re: Noticeably better performance?

I'd expect your 18 footer got about 45mph top speed, and I wouldn't be surprised if you saw 55+ on a 20 footer with a 350Mag MPI and duo props. In addition, the duo props wil give you a way better hole shot for getting skiers and tubers up on plane.
