do you have bags in the rear?

[ramthis9501]

Nice

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

I'm pretty sure he's got bags..looks like he could use a few more pounds though.

[oklahemi]

Is that a q4?

[myoung84]

Yes, 2005 19.5' Q4, 190HP V6.

And yes, I have bags. It wasn't squating that much on flat road, the other tire was dipped down in a hole and makes it look lower. It still could have used more air though, only had about 20 lbs. This is around 1000 lbs of weight, 700 lb 4wheeler and about 300 lb tongue weight.

Not bad running only 20 psi for 1000 pounds.

[myoung84]

Sitting in front of my house on level concrete it was almost level. 25-30 PSI would be perfect.

[0212353]

cool, and yeah - nice on the low psi too.

[oklahemi]

my next boat will be a q4 or q5, those things are sexy

[myoung84]

If you get a newer one, go with a Q5. The new Q4's are only 18' with a 4 cylinder. Mine is one of the last years that the Q4 was 19.5' with a V6, which is technically a Q5 hull.

[oklahemi]

Yeah I noticed that the new q4's are rocking a 4 cylinder. I would probably get an older model, more bang for your buck. I want one just like your only red or yellow. Weare going to hold onto the jet boat for this summer and shop around in the fall.

[myoung84]

We almost had a deal on one like mine but yellow, with 220HP EFI engine, wake tower, and 4 blade stainless prop but by the time we got all the pre-approval done for the loan it was sold. Guy said it literally sold that morning, I was pissed. I am happy with ours, but wish I had the higher HP EFI engine sometimes. I have never had an issue with the carb'd engine starting, even started on the 2nd key turn this summer after being in storage all winter.

i met a guy this morning at quicktrip with a newer q4 and we were talking about the 90hp. he said he loved it and it was more than enough to pull a skier or tube and he could hit the lake 3 or 4 times on one tank of gas. my boat now is 90hp and i think it is severely lacking esp. when i start pulling someone behind me.

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Man I don't see how only 90hp could do it. My dad has something similar to Morgan's, but I can't remember what year. I know that it has the 4.3 Volvo Pinta motor though.

[myoung84]

I really like my 190HP 4.3L GM engine, I can pull people out of the water with no problems at all. I could probably do what I do with less, but I wouldn't want to. I can play all weekend pulling wake boarders and tubers on a single tank. It sucks it down a little quicker when you are at WOT for extended periods, but that is to be expected.

[oklahemi]

for sure. i dont think i would want another 90hp, i found a killer deal on a nice 26' tri toon im going to look at this weekend. i need a party barge too

[BMRbrnSNRbrd]

Damn Mike why can't you live down here? We could have a blast!
