New to me 2023 CS22 and First time boat owner
Posted: Mon Apr 08, 2024 12:06 am
Hey yall.
Just came into a 2023 Cs22 for a screaming deal. I'm getting it delivered to Seattle from out of state in a week or two. Cant wait! I'm a first time boat owner and stumbled into this boat recently and unexpectedly from a family members estate sale. The opportunity came out of nowhere and couldn't be passed. With that said I could (and probably will) ask multiple questions on this forum as I have a LOT to learn!
My first question though is about the engine. All I see on this forum is talk of the Duoprop and how great it is. You wouldn't even think they make a non dual prop if you didn't know otherwise! Well, my boat is coming with either the V6-250C-G SX - 240 hp (179 PkW) or V6-250G SX (non-cat) - 240 hp (179 PkW) - (I'm not positive which, does anyone know the functional difference?)
I'm a bit embarrassed to say but I feel a little bit of FOMO before I've even driven my new boat, because of not having this "Duoprop". I've read on here many times how it's a game changer?. That, combined with the fact I see most of the other CS owners on here have at least the 280hp engine, I'm really thinking about the power plant on my new boat! Where will I feel the difference and be missing out? Are there any pros to the non duo-prop besides saving some money if it needs to be replaced? How much would I be looking at to swap it out, if even possible? The unfortunate thing Is I wouldn't have even known what I was missing had I not come on this forum an hour ago
