You had the 17.5’ model correct? How many guys could the 90hp engine handle? I want to use a boat like this pulling tubes at the lake with the kids as well.
I have a DE 176, which is 17’2”, with a 90 Suzuki… I take it to Nootka each year, launching in gold River with a bunch of gear and three guys (we’re not small guys). And it handles it. Takes a little extra to get up on plane. But no issues. 115 is the best match to these hulls, but 90 works with no issues at all.
