I have sort of an "open" question. I currently have an older (1982)
15.5’ trihull with 70HP outboard. I am looking into buying a new boat
and would like some of your opinions on 4 cyl vs. 6 cyl. I’m looking
for a bowrider 17’ to 19’ length. I have been noticing that most of
the boats in this size range have the 4cyl engines, but some (most)
offer a 6 cyl option. It would be used mostly in fresh water lakes
for pleasure/ fishing/ tubing/ some watersking and wakeboarding. I
have two boys who think "the faster, the better". Is the 6 cyl
option generally worth the extra money? Would the 4 cyl generally be
underpowered? I have heard both good and bad regarding both engines.
Any comments would be appreciated.
Have you considered keeping an outboard?

Here's one example:

Nice looking boat?

What design is an Evinrude 115 DSLSD ?

Never heard of a DSLSD....

E-Tecs, of course. I have no idea what that is. I do know ELPTO!
