Took delivery Wednesday a.m. I'll post some pics on weekend

Cosmetically perfect ,not a mark anywhere, hull, interior,
engine looks like new. Trailer perfect. very happy.
Put in the ocean for trial Wed evening.
Flashed right up.
My last boat was a 24 Arriva bowrider, 454 and bravo 1, not a bad old rig, but showing it's age, hench the upgrade.
First BIG observation is how well the Bravo 3, twin prop moves the boat around the dock, launch, trailer etc, dramatic
difference to me.
2ND Deal, silent thunder is LOUD on a 502, as loud as the 454 with open pipes. definitely gonna add silent choice or similar.
also gotta add closed cooling as I will be in salt water half the time.
Next, boat is a dream to run but I find it rolls side to side more than expected for 27ft. It's got Bennett tabs, but no indicators so its hard to tell where they are at, so I just put em full up till i fiqure how they work.

Holeshot and midrange are excellant with b3, got to 55mph but it was rough so didn't push past that for now.

Couple of issues though...
The lower carpet in the cuddy is wet[on delivery] and didn't dry out in 2 days, could be water from rain in the shipping.
small amount of clear water in the bilge too
When running on the hose/muffs on the trailer to flush salt
water there is water coming out between the silent choice box and the hull. I don't think that's meant to be...
Any one know what's up with that. I would have thought the water would come the exhaust opening, must be a seal or something loose or leaking, could be leaking back into the bilge as well when running.

Also, my truck is 2wd so I was worried about pulling up the launch, but the trailer is oversize for the boat and the back wheels of the truck are not even in the water, cool on this ramp, but some of the lake ramps I go to, might be an issue, we'll see.

Give me some feedback on the silent choice water leak.
I'll post some pics soon.

my 271 tends to lean to the pass side all the time don't no why, yes the 502 rumbles nice my mid range is great also, as far as water coming out the seals yes the rubber seal could be wourn out first make sure its tight, also when trailering always make sure the plugs are out of the platform when trailering so the water drains out of the platform or else the water could back into the motor when you stop causeing problems, I leave mine out all the time,

in case you don't know look at the bottom of platform you will see the holes I'm talking about maybe the plus arent even in there, when you put it in the water you can plug them holes causing the platform to fill up with more water and it will quiet it a little bit more

nsformula

platform, you mean the silent choice box?
