I've been looking at a couple 290 sundancers with 220hp 4.3 litre engines. How does that boat perform with those engines? What kind of fuel mileage does it get?

Ah ok, sorry I don't have any firsthand experience with those years. We have a 98, and with the 4.3's some folks complain about performance but our years were about 31' with a 10'3" beam and 10,500# dry. We have the 260HP 350's and the perform great, but we do alot of on plane cruising.
There's a bunch of people on here with the newer 290s that will chime in, check out their "official" thread too.
Getting up on plane and the revs required to stay there. You could except 4K+ cruising rpm for the larger 97.5-2001 290sAre the under-performance complaints mostly about top-end planing speeds?
