Hewescraft 180 Sportsman: vmax motor or not?
In its standard configuration, the boat comes with a 90hp yamaha. Boat is rated up to 115hp.
In an ideal world, stepping up to the 115hp would be perfect and I wouldnt think twice.
However, we plan to garage our boat and its going to be a very tight fit. The 115 is a bigger footprint and likely just won't fit.
So, the dealership is telling us that we should get the 90hp Yamaha Vmax. It is the same physical size as the 90 but the dealership tells us it is "pretty much a 115hp."
Anyone have any thoughts on this claim?
Is the 90hp vmax actually more powerful than the normal 90hp?
My google-fu has been inconclusive thus far.
