We bought the '07 191fs in June. (Before this we had a Champion bass style boat with the fish/ski setup.) The 191 is a great boat - lots of storage and exactly the set up we wanted. My wife and I love it and so do the kids 8 & 13. I have a Yamaha 150 2 stroke - I've pulled a 200 pound skier, then 2-130 pound knee boarders, then a 60 pound tuber. Then we folded the back seats down to make the fishing deck and cast netted shad, then went striper fishing below the dam - all this was on the same trip without ever going back to the dock to swap gear or people around. The only trouble we had on this trip was they stopped generating water thru the dam and the fish quit biting.
I can cruise at a pretty steady 18 MPH to pull a knee boarder, and can run 44 MPH with 4 adults and 2 kids on board.
If you go with the 191FS, here are two things: 1) Be sure to have the dealer install the water/fuel separator. I did this myself and it's no fun. 2) If you get the 191 with the bow ladder on it - it makes it real tuff to install a bowmount trolling motor. I am a pretty fair do it yourselfer and it took me a day and a half - 1/2 day of thinking and 1 day of doing. It was worth it though cause it works great.
Let me know if you have anymore questions about the 191FS.
