Default Another thought or question

Have you considered refitting with a single I/O? Other than docking, it could be the best of both options.

If I was doing one....I'd think some warm 383s and bravos would be a nice bulletproof combination

there is nothing bulletproof about a bravo…

single big block or twin outboards IMO. I love my Gun but I really want a 28SS with a pair nice reliable, easy maintenance outboards I can dunk for evening cruises without the all the hassle.
