Hope I got the right section here, sorta a motor question but also a general boat question. Anyway, we have narrowed down our buying search to two boats. Both almost the same except the power plant. The one we really like is a 2007 Reinell 204fns with a 5.7 Volvo. The other one is a 2008 Reinell 198 with the 4.3 Volvo. Obviously the larger boat is a little more money, but our main concern is the difference in fuel consumption. I read a ton of reviews etc online, but am curious to what everyone else thinks. I do a bit of wakeboarding and some family tubing. Obviously the V8 is gonna suck down a bit more gas, but is it gonna be a huge noticeable difference? Also, is there any other large differences I should look at? The sizes are pretty close to the same, and all the features seem to be similar too. Any and all opinions and insight would be greatly appreciated.
