@Rendered.....great replies by everyone. The answer will depend entirely how you plan to use the boat. I wanted a boat I could easily tow and launch with a mid sized SUV. We wanted a lot of cockpit room, speed&acceleration and the ability to carry four adults and two teenagers comfortably and fast. Our 2020 SX195 does that super well. As I said earlier if not twin engines get supercharged as no one ever complains that they have too much HP. I also agree 100% with @BlkGS and I too have never heard anyone say I wish I had a smaller boat. get it right the first time. Two foot itis is an expensive disease!
