Engine Choices- Another ?

[78Southwind]

I don't think I'm opposed to a semi-vee, or what would something like that be called?

Should ride a little better in the rough?

You should put up a list of all the things you want to do with your boat and where you want to use your boat. We can then guide you to the hull, engine and drive that would fit those things best. Members that have owned those types of boats could give you the pros and cons of each boat.

Though I have done it, Laughlin is probably not the best place to take my old Hallett 23' V-Drive since it so shallow there. Again though I have done it, Havasu is probably not the best place to take my Southwind 18' Jet because it's an ocean out there. I have toured my Sea Doo from McIntyre Park to Fishers which is over 65 miles. It is probably the most bitchen trip I have made and it was on a Sea Doo. The funny thing is I hate Sea Doo's because most of the drivers our idiots and have never owned a boat so they have no clue what they are doing. However, I would have never made it with the V-Drive or even the Jet. You get my drift.

When we were bring company I would take out the V-Drive because it had a lot of room and the ride was better. My jet was faster so when I wanted to do a couple hot laps I would take out the Jet. It all what is important to you.
