1993 malibu euro f3 or 1993 malibu Echelon


silver bullet

Recommended Posts

Hi-Everyone

I'm brand new to this site and I can tell that you all have alot of great infomation!!!

I'm currently considering purchasing one of two used 1993 Malibu's a Euro F3 or a 1993 malibu Echelon which are in my price range...I know about the 93 Echelons computerized dash that are problems,which my local dealer said a very hard to find parts for...Then again I heard that the Euro F3 is a heavy boat and that 260hp engine made is sort of slugish..

Any suggestions or commets on either one of theses two boats would be great appricated..

Thank You

I have no experience with the Echelon, but everyone knows the horror stories of the Computron. I would get anything but the computron. It's likely you (or anyone) can't fix it.

I like my 1990 Euro f3. Almost anyone can fix it, if it ever has a problem.

What's the difference in engines for those 2 boats you're looking at?

The concept of the system was great and perhaps ahead of it's time, the issue is that it was dropped and therefore if it breaks your stuck.
