[QUOTE="MjinPa, post: 418328, member: 12620"] Different manufacturers go to different lengths to quite them down. Honestly my 200 isn't that bad and the performance is great. As far as life expectancy goes it's like anything else. Take care of it with good maintenance. They took care of the reed issues the earlier ones had. Biggest failure u will hear about is the low pressure fuel pump or lift pump. It's a cheap pump and an easy fix. Most carry a spare so it can be changed on the water. The sport jet boats are fun. I was just thinking v8 because of your need to be hauling 6 adults at times plus some gear I'd imagine. The sport jets can haul that weight but my boat loses a little bit of its sporty feel when weighed down. I guess the best advice I can give is test drive whatever you can and go with what feels best.
