We have an inline 3 90 Etec on our 1989 Montauk 17. We've done plenty of water skiing, tubing, etc. with it and I've pulled some pretty big boys out with no issues. As stated, make sure you're propped correctly and make sure the engine is mounted at least two holes up. Three holes up is better but it will depend on the propeller used. Less weight on the transom is the preference.
