Hi
I have just bought a Simms Super V (yet to buy an engine) as a 1st boat. Being a total virgin to this world i am looking for any advice i can get. Such as what engine should i get, is 115hp plenty enough for wakeboarding? How far could i safely take this out (with the max size engine for the boat)....? Any tips, advice would be great....cheers |

Any tips, advice would be great....cheers The ones I found on the internet all had engines from 50 to 75 hp. How big is the boat? What is the maximum engine size? When you say 'take it out', my question would be, "Take it out where?" Can you find a web site which shows the boat you plan to buy? From what I've seen, I'd be reluctant to take it anywhere but on a calm lake. -- John H ******Have a spectacular day!****** |

Hello I have an super v with an 85hp engine. no problem on lakes can
carry 3 adults and one on skis no problem. it also has no problem towing 3 rings with teenages on board, I am told from various sources that the boat is well capable of handling up to 6 foot waves however i will only try this with a second/larger boat as a back up for safety reasons. |
