Thinking of changing my current rig ... Maxum 1800SR3
Use is as a runabout for towed sports inshore. Not into competition just recreational.
Only extras I use are a WakeTower and SmartTabs.
The plus point about Maxum is that with jump seats at rear (rather than bench) it gives good floor area for kitting up.
Thinking of 2 options - both with 5.0L MPI and Alpha One drive.
SeaRay 205 2
1' x 8' and 1476kg (3254lb)
COBALT 200
20'10" x 8' 4" and 1628kg (3589lb)
Just on specs the COBALT is 10% heavier, the power to wgt ratio is 176 (Searay) compared to 159 (Cobalt) ..... but I appreciate that hull design can make much more difference than just the weight & power.
Anybody got any views +ve or -ve on either option?
