Went to visit family this weekend and a 292 was listed locally, boat was a pile, but niticed a few things, seems like the cabin u shape couch is almost smaller the the 272 what you guys think? good fit for us maybe in the future should I find a good deal, and what we wants not available

We started noticing how little the cabins changed in a two-foot-itis comparison which made me rule the 292 out of our step up plans. Plus I won't run anything smaller than 454 cid and the newer 292's just don't give enough more than my 242 does to make me want to try it. We are holding out to make a jump to 382 instead of the step up idea.

it atcually was a old 292

it was a good fit for us, basically a 31 with platform, a 382 is too much for us(me) and I'm man enough to admit it LOL

what speeds you guys running, this one had mags

Sam,

I was getting 72 out mine, stock 502's with EMI Thunder exhaust, and they had 800 hours em, 2 people, half or less fuel.

Go to a 311, it's just the right amount of jump from a 242. Thats what I did 8 years ago and it's been a great boat. O by the way it's for sale. Just to nice to keep no more than I get to use it. Propwash

thanks, would like a 311,

Once you add a couple of kids for over nighting a 382 is not too much. You'll get there.

nope, my 11 yr old is all I need
