Looking at a ski boat...

[bassadict69]

I have found a 1986 Searay Seville with a 140hp inboard I can get a good deal on.

Can anyone tell me anything about this inboard? It is a Mercruiser 140 horse inboard. The boat is an 18 footer...is that plenty of motor to pull skiers, tubes, wakeboards, etc?

Briana and I bought one not long ago. It's a little older than the one you're looking at, but we like it, it's getting a new face lift on the seats right now, but we like it. It will move pretty good too.

Same motor?

This one is in immaculate shape. Owner says it has always been garage kept.

Should pull one person just fine!

When my wife and I were kids( I know that was along time ago)
Her dad had a ski boat with a 135 I think and we could pull 4 with it. We would all get up on 2 skis and then circle around by the beach and drop one so we could slalom. 140 is plenty of motor on a ski boat.

When I was in High School and even after, my Dad had an 18' Stingray with the 140 Mercruiser, and it did just fine.  We used it to pull tubes, wakeboards, and even 2 people skiing at a time.
