Hello to all Sea Ray lovers from Greece,
I would highly appreciate if you can help me with the following : I am interested on buying a 2003 260DA with a Mercruiser 230hp Diesel. The problem is that I know nothing regarding the performance of this particular engine :huh: nor can I find any boat test in the net :smt024
Does anyone of you guys know anything about this engine??? is its horsepower enough for this boat's weight? is it going to plane good enough? is it going to maintain a steady and adequate cruising speed or I would constantly have to increase / decrease speed all the time in order to maintain cruising speed? What are your opinions upon these worries I have?:smt100:smt100:smt100:smt100:smt100
Keep in mind that we are talking for two adults with two small children plus baggages and full tanks.
Thank you all in advance for your valuable help!!!
