At the other end I have a 19 ft bowrider with a 5.7. I can pull a
slalom skier with 10 adults and teenagers in the boat, or a 100" tube
with 8 teenagers on it. And do low 60's at wot :-)


I'm curious what my little 4.3L boat will do with the 23" prop. It's 50
mph (4 adults) with the 21" at 4600 rpm for a short duration ... only
have about 25 hrs on the motor. Seems to have the power to maintain the
revs ... I'll find out next season :-)
