Hello,
I have an opportunity to buy a new 2019 296. The boat was recently won at a tournament and has never been in the water. The only thing that has me concerned is that it’s equiped with a 150 hp Pro XS 4 stroke engine. My concern is that it will be extremely under powered and not perform well. Is this a valid concern? Any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I’m set to purchase the boat this weekend and would like to know what to expect before I make the purchase. I thought about seeing if someone (dealership) would be willing to trade for 200 HP + the cash difference and man hours for install.
Thanks!
