Alrighty....As my beloved 268 of 12 years was taken by Sandy, I've been on the lookout. Not exactly sure what I'm looking for, as I was thinking of going back to a full out, utility sportfisherman, or something along the lines of my old Sea Ray with the accomodations below, and room to fish casually (Although I fished her hard at times for big game)...
I did come across a 1990 28ft Sea Ray Sundancer that looks pretty sweet! Obviously I would never by a boat without a full marine survey (like I did with my 268), but my question is regarding power. My old 268 had the single 7.4 and I loved it! I've sailed twin screws before but they were either huge turbo diesel's or twin 454's.
This 28 footer I'm thinking of looking at has the twin 4.3 MPI's with Bravo III's, the specs state 220 hp each. I was just wondering about your opinions regarding this setup from anyone who has experience with them. Power wise, getting on plane, fuel comsumption ect. I've read earlier post's and read some blogs, but I figure I'd ask here.
Any thought's on the subject would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Anthony
