FWIW I had a 2000 190 Searay Sundeck that was an outboard. I believe it shares the same hull as the current 200 Sundeck. I found it to be a fantastic all around boat. It had a lot of room for a 19' boat and it skied really well. Nice to be able to trim it up in shallow water, and it was a great boat to take to sand bars with easy entrance/exit from the front. The wake for boarding, however, left a lot to be desired for. I had about 250 lbs. under the rear seat and another 300 in the locker. Usually had 4-5 in the boat so roughly 1300-1400 total weight. It was really hard to keep on plane, or at constant speeds when pulling a boarder. It was sure nice not having to winterize, but I think I will love my inboard.
