gfc, I had read a post a few weeks ago but can't find it that commented on the 4.3l inboard. Seems as though economy was good but the power, depending on what you would use the boat for, was a little lacking. It was questionable whether or not you could tow a skier. I don't want to give out bad info. since my memory isn't that good, so I will stop there. Hopefully someone who owns one will help you out.

I do own a Sportjet and have had great luck with it.

Good luck
