Good morning all,
This is my first post! I currently have a 1995 250DA which is a fantastic boat. I was looking at doing a few upgrades to it (extended swim platform, canvas etc) and decided by the time I spend the money on that I can move up to a little bit larger boat with all that already there. After looking at all the various boats out there it seems the 1998-2000 270 is perfect. My question is engines? They are available with twins, efi twins, or a single 7.4 with a Bravo 3. I think the single 7.4 would be the best as the beam of the boat (9.2) wouldn't seem to be wide enough to get the full benefit of twins from a manuverability standpoint. Is the single enough power? Better on fuel?
Couple of opinions would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks,
Wayner
