You will not be happy are a few times out. My suggestion consider a V8
engine with about 200hp minimum.

om...
I am new to the boating community and would love some help on a boat I
am thinking of buying. Does anyone have any thoughts on the power of
the 3.0 Ltr Mercruiser (inboard) that comes with Maxum 1800SR. Plan
on using it to bring people out for some skiing, tubing, cruising
etc... I've read on some threads that the bigger the engine the
better.


Thanks.
