some of those family bowrider type boats are so so with a 4.3 liter but 18' with a 3.0 is grossly under powerd. with 4 peeps i but you'd have a hard timne getting on plain never mind pulling a skier. i'd hafta pass on that one. just my humble opinion but in 5-6 years that boat will be worth almost nada.regal so far as i know isn't a bad name mind you, you just gotta watch under powering. now i got some lurking to do.
