    Engine noise: Inline 4 versus V6

    Looking at a Sea Ray, Opinions Greatly Appreciated!

    I am very familiar with bass boats, but we now have a cabin on Lake of the Ozarks and want to move up to a bow rider. Been doing a lot of looking at the ads and have found one that I think may be a fair deal. Haven't seen it in person yet, but thought I would ask this board for their opinion...
