Hey everybody,
We are buying our first ever brand new boat and are very excited about that! We are coming out of a 1992 Kayot 200 limited with a 5.8L OMC Cobra, that boat was great to us but it was also a tub. She topped out around 45 and would pull me out of deep water on a slalom ski without too much exertion. We have landed on the VR5, we loved our deckboat and the interior layout/functionality is really what sold us on the VR5. In the process of choosing options, I am struggling with the 200hp vs the 250hp. I'm getting older and less enthusiastic about being drug for a bit to get out of the water on a slalom ski. I'd like to be able to have a few people in the boat and pull a couple of large tubes easily. I can't say that the price tag is not an issue, but I don't want to dislike the performance of this boat. We live on a relatively small inland all-sports lake in MI and this boat will be used almost daily in the Summer. Any input regarding the performance of either of these motors would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
