Base 350 with TBI. Not sure what hp, someone here will chime in but most likely 275hp +/-.
The LT-1 was the option @ 310hp.

Is the standard engine on the '94 the same as the '97?

I would add another vote for the 94. Once you work your speed up to the mid 30s, the wake is almost non-existent and even better if you keep the ski on edge through the wake. My ski buddies comment every week on how good the wake is, and how they can ski a bit harder behind my boat then they do behind their own.

Old thread but how does the '99 hull compare? Found a local boat with low hours and an LS-1/Northstar motor in excellent shape.

Not an expert by any means but my wife is real sensitive to wake size at the 30 MPH range. I currently ski in the 34 MPH range.

This boat will just live on a small private lake. When we travel we take the Wake/Surf boat.

Thank you in advance!

I think the 95-2000 are the same hull, but I'm more familiar with the 205 (96-2000 hull). The only thing unique in the 99' is the engine box and interior. Looks different than the 98' and 2000, and some don't really "prefer" the 99' model. Again, this is based on the 205, but I think they are the same as the 190.

Others will correct me I'm sure. Maybe a break in 98??

This is a good writeup on the 205, and includes some 190 notes.
