Need some advice on a boat. I am looking for a 17 foot Open Bow fun/ski boat. I found a nice Donzi with an OMC motor and Cobra outdrive. I know Merc Cruiser I/Os are good, but don't know about the OMC/Cobra. Does anybody know anything about them?

We have a 19Ft VIP Victory Deck boat similar to what you have described.
Open bow/walk thru design. It's powered by a OMC-4.3 - V6 coupled to a OMC Cobra outdrive. Bought it used & we've had it for years. No problems whatsoever. The OMC 4.3 V-6 is essentially a Chevy engine with a different p/n crank & cam than you would find in your chevy blazer. That's because the marine version makes it's torque from way down at 1500 rpm's up to about 4k to deal with water resistance. We've heard all of the sayings. Second happiest day is when you buy your first boat. 1st happiest day is when you sell your boat... Don't believe a word of it. I say the second happiest day is when you buy your first boat and the 1st of many happy, fun, relaxing, skiing, tubing, fishing, exploring days you'll have on your boat. And if you have kids - it's even better. Great family fun. Go 4 it!!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) |
