The boat is the perfect package with 525's. |
A 33 with twin 496s wll run well over 80 and cost the same as 28 with a single 700 NXT or twin Raylars based on my data.
Fuel effiecent and very resellable...... But who knows? It's really about what you want. |
Someone should ck into what it would cost to insure a 28 w/700nxt I know what it was for a 525. I would be willing to bet it would be a lot more than my dream 33. And though I love the 28s I would prefer the room of the 33 if they are priced about the same now.

Ok I'm gonna go there.....

Biggest problem I see with trying to put that much horsepower in a 28 anything is the ride at speed. They weren't designed to go that fast and nobody really knows how they will ride at that speed so its a pretty big gamble. If you want to go 80+ safely I'd definitely want to be in a bigger boat.

I'm looking into a 530HP 502 for my Tantrum.......to keep it safe you have to know your limitations, thats all:eek::p
|
Here's a good question... pricing wise between a 28 and 33.
A hull rigged w/ no power or drives, but ready for them. For a cabin, either one should be at most a cover girl cabin. Just 2 simple benches on each side... about 48". The rest is just storage, or open for Large rubbermaid containers w/ bungees. The only difference is fiberglass and resin, and extra gauges for 33twin vs 28single. Ya know what... make it a 3way w/ a 28twin also. Am i missing anything? Would there be any other differences between the boats that would make a price difference? |

how much you figure a s-charged 500 or 525 28 w/ a drive built to handle that power reliably will set you back? I bet you could just start with a merc 700nxt and get all that w/ less headache...and a warrenty to boot. |
