253 vs 259/270
Looking for some real world handling/speed input comparing a 253 to a 259 or 270. I have a 253 now and im looking at a 270 with a 496ho. Its my understanding that the 259 and 270 are the same boat just measured differently. Wondering if the 259/270 is any faster/slower and is the porpoising any better then the 253? My 253 is manageable but some improvement would be good. Any other positives or negatives would be great, I may be able to upgrade for not a lot of money.
