I have a 2017 24 SSRCX with a Mercury 150 4 stroke (110hours). The dealer has a used (30hours) 2018 23 SSRCFBXP with a Verado 250 that I am considering.
The main reason for the upgrade would be the HP. I have 4 boys (17, 15, 14, 10) and we do alot of tubing with a SuperMable (3 person). The biggest issue I have is keeping the speed up in the turns with the bigger boat, full load and full tube. I can tube the kids at 25mph during the straights but slow down in the turns. I fear this problem this get worse as they and their friends grow.
For those who have experience with upgrading from a 150 to a 250, is the performance boost worth the upgrade cost? I have talk to several people who went from 150 to 200 and they said it was marginal improvement at low end maneuvers (tubing).
