Winter boating in the area on those cool clear days is fantastic

It is great in winter! Get those magic mirror reflective days.
Working for another 10 years. I don't need fast however for my water skiing I'll need power and ability to hold constant 49, 52 or 55kph. 90hp seems to be absolute minimum.
