290 or 270 ??

a little to big for as much moving and crossing state lines as gerry and i do.

the 290 was pretty much as large and heavy as we wanted to trailer on a regular basis.

lone ranger; your right. there are a lot of boats for sale out there.
gerry just told me she heard on the radio to day, gas is supposed to jump pretty good this summer.
that should make it harder on any one trying to sell

how would the 270 do with the twin v-6 option?

Food for thought. The 290 requires a min 350 and permits to tow the 340 requires the same with a fifth wheel set up.
 
We tow our 2001- 290 not all the time, but a few times a summer we take her some where. I pull it fully loaded with my Excursion diesel. She sits on a tri-axle trailer with electronic brakes on every axle. With a 10'2" beam, I am careful on what time we are on the road, so we don't have to deal with too much traffic.

Everything shrinks in the water, if you can haul it go for the 290. We are already trying to step up to something larger, but with the market the way it is, getting our boat sold isn't easy.
