PCM 5.8hp 260hp

Novo,

What are you going to do with the boat. Without any detail, it's hard to say if it is enough power. If you are a big guy, and are going to barefoot, you'll probably need to be sure that the boat is not heavily weighted to get enough top end. I haven't been in that exact boat with that exact motor, but under normal conditions, I'd expect top end to be 42 or 43 mph. My neighbor has the fuel injected 310hp and we get 44-45 mph top end with a four blade prop. I assume you'll drive it before you buy it.
As to resale value, admittedly the fuel injected motors are probably the more desirable. However, having the standard motor should be reflected in the price you pay now. I would expect the price to be 500-1000 less with the carburated motor than if you had the fuel injected motor.
The fuel injected motor was not introduced until 95 I believe. There are an awful lot of sport nautiques from 90-95 running around with carburated motors and no one's complaining.
Also, just thought, if you plan to load the boat up with 2 or 3000 lbs of ballast, you may have some power issues, but, unless you are a very good wakeboarder, that's an awful lot of weight. BKH

Novo85. Check out newdimensiontowers.com. This guy was the original OEM manufacturer for the Mastercraft Zero Flex towers. He started new dimensions and makes copies of original towers from CC, MC, Tige, etc. They're not cheap, but they are quite a bit cheaper than buying from the manufacturer. Best of all, he'll give you a tower that looks like a CC Flight Control Tower. Just makes it look like a Nautique.
85 MC is a good boat as well, but I'm sure you'll like the room in your new CC. BKH
