I am wondering how it would be running around 45-50 knots in 2-4' swells, guess timed to hit the tops it will be ok. How is the spray?
i have yet to be sprayed...the windshield helps with that.
where are you doing the majority of boating?

Seems the cut-off for the 292 is 4' without having too much drama when the wife is on-board, she is a trottle head though so maybe she would be ok

Well I am thinking of docking around essex so that when I am in the ocean I will have the trip back to flush the salt from the block jackets and such so river travel will be part of it as well as hitting block and bouncing around the coast.

Our boat is just north of Essex in Chester (Hays Haven Marina). Its nice being centrally located between Middletown (Harbor Park) and LI Sound. From Chester is a nice easy ride to the ocean and any other restaraunt/bar located in the northern sections of the CT River.

I spent over an hour trying to get the bilge plug in. How the heck do you do it. I'm 6'2" with long arms and can't reach it.

Do you plan on keeping the boat on a trailer, lift, or slip?

Harbour Park................during the 80s that place was nuts and the go-fasts during that time was insane. Any summer weekend there would be 15-20 docked up lashing 4 deep off the docks
I know that marina in Chester, nice place. I would want to stay in a slip and pull once or twice a month to power wash the hull and flush the engines probably.

performance boats dont like to sit in the water for extended periods of time. if you can keep it on a trailer i would.
