a 27 magnum with a pair of 350s with trs drives or a pair of 250 2 stroke ourboards, which do you think would give better fuel mileage and by what percent?

Hello Ratman. I have a 1970 sedan. A bit heavier than a sport and not sure about the maltise. But maybe this will help with your request. I have a pair of 350 with bravo I drives. Cruse at +- 45-47 mph. I burn about 20 gallons an hour. Hope this helps.

I like that Maltese on ebay, I found one for a friend for a friend a few years ago that was 10k more, I thought that was a good deal. All the powder coating is a little much But ??? I like Trs drives if you don't put big power through them the last & shift nice.

im kind of sitting on the fence... im not sure i can fit an 8 foot wide boat in a container. i talked to a ro ro shipper on a 27 foot shamrock i was looking at with a yanmar. he quoted me 8k, but said if the boat would fit in a container 8' 6" wide it would cost less than half that. so i started looking at other stuff. like the sonic and the 32 manta which i like a lot.l will know tuesday am if the manta can fit in a container, and make my decision.. i like that blue maltese a lot!!! today i looked a container dimensioins on line and NONE of them were 8.6 wide at the door opening.. maybe these dudes have some special containers made that wide to handle boats, i will know when they open up tuesday... if i come across a 27 magnum cc in the next few days i will jump on it instantly....
please tell us what you know of the history of the boat.
