[QUOTE="PsychoXP18CC, post: 454199, member: 11641"] When researching/shopping for my rig, the F70 weighed considerably less than the Yamaha F90. Not saying the weight difference makes up for the 20 less HP, not at all. But it is yet another variable to consider. I pull towables behind my Xpress XP18CC with a 70hp engine, and it'll tow faster than my kid wants to go. As others have said, I grew up tubing and skiing behind an old trihull with a 50hp Johnson on it, and we never felt like we needed more. Last year I bought a 20' SeaRay with a sbc and mercruiser outdrive setup for the family, and while it is a night and day difference, my kid still won't let me tow her any faster than my Xpress will do it.
