I am looking at buying a new boat which has several different engine/sterndrive options. Which one should I get?
This is a complex question which doesn’t really have a definite answer. It is similar to purchasing a new car and trying to decide which engine or transmission to get. You should look at the pros and cons of each option and decide which features are more important to you for the type of boating you intend to do. Many times, boat manufacturers will have test data available illustrating the performance of the same boat with different power options. Many dealers will be happy to arrange a test drive with different engines.
