    Best boat for skiing and wakeboarding

    I'm looking at a 94 ski nautique (closed bow) 5.8HO tbi and a 95 sea ray 180 signature bowrider with the 4.3l LX carbed engine. Both are in good shape and the nautique doesn't have wood stringers so I like that. Recently bought a boat that had a stinger rot and resold it as I don't have time to...

    Hi everyone, I just replaced a failing fuel pump in a new to me 1996 Grew Cutter with a 3.0LX Merc (canadian made bowrider).
