I'm about to order a Chapparal 190 I/O.

I can get either the 3.0 Volvo or the 4.3.
Can someone tell me the difference in speed between the two.

I understand that most recommendations will be to the larger
engine, but
cost is a consideration at $2000 higher for the 4.3.

Before I make a decision, can I get some factual differences
between the
two?

Thanks a lot in advance.

A 19' Chap with a 2 liter V6 (it is a V6, right...not a 4) will be
woefully underpowered.

Harry:
- It's 3 litres, not 2
- It's 4 cyl, not 6
- It's adequate, not "woefully underpowered"

Good thing you got your signature right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, so I made a typo. A 3.0 liter four cylinder engine in
a 19' Chap sportboat equals a woefully underpowered boat. Perhaps not by
your standards, but, then, by your standards, going a knot faster than
the current is acceptable.

A 4.3 liter engine is necessary on that boat to make it perform as it
should...quick, agile, able to carry some passengers and pull water
skiers.

Just because your Vinyl Valerie or whatever you called your "sport boat"
was grossly underpowered doesn/t mean everyone else's boat should be, too.

Ciao.


P.S. One of the surplus stores was having a sale on end lots of duct
tape and bailing wire...I immediately thought of you and your boats.


Oh Harry what's Wong can't take the heat. Yea!! You like to Dish it out but
can't it. Oh where is Asskisser I didn't see him reply to any of the
comments. Just as I thought you can't even give the Simplest Technical
Advice or Helpful Hints. Just go and reply to the OT topics.
