18.6 foot Seaswirl Stripper Dual Console

[fstone]

Does anyone have any experience with the 18.6 foot Seaswirl Stripper Dual Console with the 4.3 Litre (190 hp) I/O? I will be using it for as a fishing boat and also pulling the kids on tubes and skis. So, basically, no one boat is perfect.

1. Does the 4.3 litre have enough power to pull a small skier?

2. Is it fishable for three people? Looks like a lot of space if given up on the transom.

The factory is having a rebate on these until July 1.

Thank you.

The 4.3 should be sufficient for skiing, wake boarding and tubing. I've got that motor in a heavier boat, and while a little slow out of the hole it's adequate.

Can't answer the fishability question of that boat though.
