I've rode in both and I can't tell a difference. These boats would work well with a big 4-stroke outboard because they were designed for twin cast iron inboard blocks, they're too light with a single V6 2-stroke and float with their chines several inches above the waterline....not good for trolling or bottom fishing. Either one runs well with 200 hp.
