I am about to go pickup my new 1986 Sea ray 270 DA in Baltimore and head down to Portsmouth Va for a concert. To be honest its a new thing for me, boat this big and trip this long. I would like some info on where i should get charts and stuff. I am also wondering how much fuel ill probably burn with twin 4cyl. Any idea on gas mileage? fuel costs?It looks likes its 148 nautical miles from baltimore to portsmouth. What type of fuel? I was thinking of trailering it but apparently the beam is too big for me to tow without huge hassle. I do own a tree company here in richmond and have a truck to tow it with and a truck with lights to follow but am not sure about my trailer holding it. It is a tandem axle and i am in the process of making a new toungue for it to add a couple feet since my last boat was a 240 weekender. The longer tongue with be fine i think but am concerned about how wide it is for the trailer. I guess what im asking is what would yall do? I just dont want to spend a pile of money for the baltimore portsmouth trip, considering im going to be taking down to hatteras on July 4(as yall can tell I'm real excited to have the new boat)for 10 days. I am hoping to take it offshore and try my hand at some tuna fishing. Tow it or boat it. any cool tips would be appreciated, considering my last weekender i never got to take out.
