Hi All,
I am still in the hunt. Before I pull the cord on a much more expensive mid 80s Tiara 2700 with dual Crusaders (or an even more expensive Albie), I may have happened upon a well maintained mid 80s AJ 255, powered by a single Merc 330/TRS setup.
I know eventually I will want to swap the TRS for a Bravo 3 (and that will be part of my negotiation)...but that's an investment down the line. For the shorter term, does anyone have a 255/Merc 330/TRS combo, and if so, what are your fuel burn numbers?
I want a single screw setup (ease of maintenance) but need some decent fuel numbers to cruise the rough afternoon swell that comes up along the Northeast coast...hence the single screw AJ.
TIA
