I have a 2572 QCW with the Yamaha 350 V-8 and it's pretty awesome! If they are offering you a 2572 for the same price as the 2372 with the same motor it's a no brainier unless the extra 2' affects your docking situation. Yes, you will lose a couple mph obviously because the 2572 is bigger and heavier, still well worth it in my opinion to have the extra room and better ride of a bigger boat. The Yammy 300 will push that boat around just fine in my opinion...The dealer was trying to sell the 2ft bigger 2572 and said the 300 Yamaha would be fine. I worried that it would reduce the top speed
Did you end up getting the boat???Thanks for the info! Just did not want to make a huge mistake!!
