I'm looking at purchasing a new 2010 Bentley 240 Fish to take family out tubing and fishing. I like the quality vs price of this brand. I don't need to get leather seats and lost's of be;;s and whistles. I also like that the Bentley is manufactured only 5 miles from my house, if it is a good quality boat.
Bentley appears to come from factory with Mercury motors, but I've found a dealer that likes Yamahas and will install them for $900 (Yamaha increased price plus installation cost) more than the Mercury. The Yamaha has an extra 3 year extended warranty as of 9/15/10 to bring it up to 6 years.
Is there a big difference between Yamaha and Mercury?
Will a 115hp motor be enough to tube or ski behind?
What kind of performance increase should I expect from a 115 over a 90?
Would the lifting strakes option from Bentley make a difference?
I don't want to purchase a boat and then wish I had something else.
