I have the Gray 4 75 in my 15.5 foot Correct Craft. It's my first boat. While I can pull the kids tubing, the drag from the tube noticably reduces performance. My kids say there is no "thrill" factor. Is this to be expected from a 4 cyl engine? Has anyone out there had good experience pulling skiers or tubers with a 4 cyl Gray? thanks. SM |

The factory engine on the 14.5'Correct Craft Atom was a 4cyl 65Hp Gray. The 4-75 ought to do a good job in your boat. What's the RPM under load.Graduate the kids to water ski's to cut the drag and everyone will be more content. |

Under load (2-3 adults plus a tube being pulled) rpm drops to around 2200. Running full throttle with 1 or 2 adults in front cockpit will run rpms at around 3100. |
