Not Telling
Our Family has been debating over the purchase of a couple of used boats that are for sale in our area. The first is a 2002 18ft bowrider with a Merc 3.0L I/O ( top speed of approx 42 mph). The second is a 2005 SeaDoo Sportster with the 155 Hp V-Tec engine c/w wake tower (top speed approx 50mph).
Our primary purpose will be recreational wakeboarding and water skiing. My son is 160lbs and very athletic, I'm about 180lbs and fairly athletic too. Neither of us have much experience water skiing, but we're both keen on improving our skills and making use of a slalom course set up on the lake.
Could anyone comment on which of these crafts would give the best performance for skiing and wake boarding?
Also, could anyone comment on how the fuel economy might compare between these two boats?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!!
