My friend has a Maxum 21 footer; v8; does 45+ on the water; 35 - 40 with
load and "toys".

I have a 18 footer 4cyl; does 28'ish with toys and people.

With allot of people and toys; get a bigger motor!

Friend wants to buy used Maxum 2001 I/O 4 Cyl for family lake use:
skiing, wakeboarding, tubing.
No engine hours meter, but compression is "182".
Any problems just because it's a Maxum?
I'm worried about the 4 cylinder being enough power.
What do you think, given the limited information?




With everyone's input here, I decided to get involved and strongly suggest
their family of 5 would be happier with a 6 cyl. Thanks.
