I would say resale of the Navi will be better....The esox mag is designed species specific whereas the navi will do multi-species and family boating (to an extent) fairly well.
all of the boats can pull tubers and skiiers, although a prop change to a lower pitch might be in order to get good hole shot to pop the skiiers up easily.
I will say this about the navi....they are very conservative on their HP rating, especially in their tiller models. with a max 75hp on tiller and 90 on console, it will be no speed demon. Power to weight, that etec is a good motor....I've been considering one on an upgrade just for better fuel economy as compared to my 90 2 stroke yamaha.
in a 15+ mph wind, a lake of about 500 acres can get choppy if it is open enough.
If you can find a dealer that carries both brands (or even all three if possible) you could really have some fun tossing different ideas back and forth to narrow down your choices...some things will stand out with one over the other. Side by side comparison is a great thing!!
