Default Well, 292, 303, 312,,

Not sure whats gonna happen, but I may have a offer on my boat, and would like to step up, but my failsafe plan is a 00-04 271, but I would plan on going bigger first, I may be ahead of myself, but I'm also still trying to decide that if its a good offer I wanna part with her yet

so,,,

I need to know some thoughts top to bottom,,, what do you tow with, speed, comforts, any info is great, I think were leaning toward a 312, they seem to have speed and room, along with some comforts, but I worry about towing, probally a year or two until I get a 3/4ton, but I only tow about a half mile or so, with one or two trips about 100 miles long.. I like the 292 because everyone raves about the fuel economy, 303's are nice also but absoulutly hate the dash on the formula's from 94-97,

If you sell your Formula, take a trip to Rochester to look at my 32 Hustler( listed in classifieds). I also had a Formula prior to the Hustler, and used it to set the benchmark of what I bought.

I just lowered my price 5k. You're only a 7 hour drive from here

This may help a little with the 312/ 292 question. http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/f...292-312-a.html

On my 292 the best fuel econ i got was 60 miles 0n about 42 gallons that was at about a 40 mph cruise. I tow it with a 1500 gmc a bit of a workout for the small 8 but its fine around town and a 30 mile tow now and then. The 292 is smaller then my old 272 but a hell of alot faster 70ish with twin 6.2s

Before I bought my Dually I towed mine with a Nissan Titan.It was legal but you knwe it was there.My advice is buy what you want don't settle even if you have to wait six months.
There will be a lot of great deals this winter I'm sure.
