Got on my first 3100 Open today!!

Great advice. I too like the concept of more horsepower, provided fuel economy doesn’t go out the window and additional maintenance costs don’t cancel whatever advantage I would have gained from more torque. Like all of the boats I have owned in the past, a thorough engine survey is worth it’s weight in Gold. One additional question I have is related to the generator. Do most of the operators use their generators or are they an unnecessary piece of expensive equipment clogging up engine access. A few of the boats I have seen do not have them or did, but were removed with wiring still in place. Thoughts on that?

Thanks in advance,

Christian
