Default Last one 27 fever w Blown 502 or twin 454s????????

What is the better boat?I have narrowed it to 2.
A 92 27 fever w Blown 502 ..Or a 90 Fever 27 w 2 454.'s
Both have Bravos drives.

I have a feeling the 92 w the blown 502 will smoke the 90 w 2 454's in all aspects . However the twin screw would be cool..anyone have an opinion??Thank you all here in Fountain land for your help.!

I'd go with the single! That's just my opinion. I am sure others will chime in. Good luck with whatever you do!

the single will probably beat it everywhere except out of the hole although you never say how much hp the twin 454s have or the single blown 502 has......550?.....1000?......ask Lofty how fast his twin is.......

I just went and got the 27 w the 502..It is around 550-600 hp..The other twin had basicly stock 454s in it..I figure the 27 Single has a better trailer No graphics yet..It matches my truck its lighter and probaly faster..Although the twin would be awesume..This one is 1/2 a country closer and probably will fly higher..Chad

For sale also send me a PM and ill get you some pics. It is in brand new shape, with a new IMCO drive. Here is a pic of the motor - the boat is clean to say the least.

510 cu inch blower motor
all braided lines
like show motor
$6,000 stereo
IMCO drive
will run 95 at 5lbs of boost
cmi headers 4.5" exhaust
very loud
