Rip5 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2011 Since it's a new model, it seems to be hard to find test data. But, it is actually a re-badged 194FS, and this test from 2007 should be fairly close to what you can expect out of your boat, even though this 194FS had the 5.0L V8 in it. http://www.boattest.ca/boat-test/bowrider/411/2007-monterey-194-fs.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For what it's worth..... I just bought a 2008 Monterey 194FS w/ the 4.3 Volvo Fuel Injected motor.......... and it is NOT a dog by any means. I've owned several boats in the past (this being my first fuel injected boat)..... this boat has almost 0 dead rise...... pops right up on plane..... acceleration is amazingly smooth, rides like a cadillac on the water compared to many other boats I've owned / ridden in. Top end... with 3 adults and about 3/4 tank of gas, we were doing just shy of 50mph, and that is without playing with the trim. ~Phil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
