Now running a 1995 192T. Really a good boat for our use in Pensacola Bay and occasional trip to the Gulf. Our motor is a 175 Black Max original equipment. Simple ,good running 2 stroke, but fifteen years is a good run! Boat use: fun fishing ( not too serious), cruise to barrier island beaches, pull grandkids tubing, occasional scuba dive.
I have looked at repowering with a 150, but the cost is high enough to open the option of a newer but used boat.
I am not familiar with the 185T. It is shorter, narrower and less freeboard than the old 192T, yet it is heavier by 175 pounds. Where's the beef?
I have a nice live well now, don't see that item in a 185 or even in the 2010 192T.
Should I look for a 2000-2003 192 or a 2003-2007 185?
Can anyone give me a comparison of ride and handling?
Are trim tabs necessary? I only have motor tilt now.
Is the 4cyl. 115 HP enough on is the 4cyl.150 HP the way to go?
Would appreciate any input from folks with 185T/ 192 experience.
Thanks for your time and advice.
