1982 VIP HPV-178F/S
This outboard fish and ski is 17.58 feet long and weighs 1080 (pounds dry). This weight does not account for passengers, fuel, or gear. The beam of this craft is 84 inches. The max horsepower for this boat on our records is 150 hp . If you choose to buy a replacement engine for your VIP HPV-178F/S boat, it is recommended by many, that you verify the max horsepower for your boat. This is because of safety reasons - as it would effect the insurability of your outboard boat. Be sure to have the manual for your engine handy, not only for your safety, but to save you money on repair costs.
Your VIP fiberglass hulled boat can be kept in better condition by covering it properly when not in use. This will help to prolong its use and resale value. Proper maintenance and care (and winterization if needed) will also help maintain the usability and value of the craft. As outboard engine life also effects the value of a boat, we have included engine information as well.
