- Single big block 454 MPI Mercruiser engine and Bravo III outdrive.
Currently we own a 1988 268 which my family and I truly enjoy.
Looking to upgrade slightly. Would like twins and AC/Heat (main reason for upgrade), but still need trailerability due to port/lake hopping and salmon tournament fishing.
The 1993 290 appears to be close to the same boat as mine, but slightly wider, maybe a touch longer. The unit we are looking at has twin 4.3's, AC/Heat, new canvasses, upholstery, tri-axle trailer, etc.
I'm already fully aware of stringer/transom and water issues. I completely rebuilt my current boat so moisture testing and surveys will be completed before purchase. I also read Pascoes comments on these and am taking some of that into consideration.
Simply looking for someone that has or had one of these boats. Interested in the annoyances or positives. Thanks in advance!
