300 Revenge vs 280 Silencer

verbi69 · 10-17-2009, 07:16 PM

Hi guys,
Would anyone know where the difference is with the extra 2 feet on the Revenge? I see that the engine bay is much longer but is there anywhere else that benefited.
Is the cuddy any longer or deeper?
I have never seen a Revenge in person and am thinking of moving up in size.
Any feedback would be great.
Thanks,

I have a Revenge and they are like all the other PQs, great boats!the 30 rides very nice and does very well in the rough stuff,

actually theres more than 2 feet difference ,the transom is about 8 inches from the end of the deck,Id say theres about 3 1/2 feet difference,

Now as my friends tell me its a TALLLLL 30,which it is, but when your in it you feel secure.

Very nice boat!!!
I hear you.....we absolutely love our Powerquest 280!!!
We were thinking of moving up in size and the Revenge would seem like a really good move.
Our 280 has the Riptide graphics and we would like to find a Revenge with the same graphics if possible.
Any idea what the boat weights with big blocks and full of fuel??
Thanks....

PQ claims 7200lbs dry,it is a heavy boat

Yeah thats heavy......I weighed the 280 on the trailer with a full load of fuel and it came in at 7460 lbs....
I'm sure I could still put another 30 gallons in it so theres more weight yet.....
Did they ever make a Revenge with 525s ??

I think 500s not 525s

That must make for a really nice package!

Hey boatnt, dont mean to smack you with a bunch of questions but curious what kind of power is in your revenge? How fast is it and where do you usually boat? I really like the revenge alot but I was curious how it handled lake michigan water. The 290 PQ I used to have was pretty good in a small chop and boat wakes but my 280 silencer I have now rides better in rough stuff. I do miss having the twins (except when you have to work on it). I was considering stepping up to a 34 but I dont think it would be very trailer friendly on a regular basis. thanks in advance.
