MCPRO i have seen that one as well, looks like more work than i want as well as the hidious teal!!! The motor might be a 509 but it looks like ****! I definitly dont want a boat im having to work on every week, or a project!

Pawdog. I sent you a PM.

It's a buyers market and you would be wise to reconsider the 29 with a single. The 29 has too many advantages over the 27 to overcome the extra size and weight penalty which is minor. It is better balanced and has 3X the fuel capacity which are critical in a performance boat.

Take your time and look at all the inventory. Buyers remorse is scarce is this market so don't let it happen!

I agree Techman, I have been looking for a year and have not 100%ruled it out being that i have a buddy with a 9.5 outta 10 29' for the right price!!!

Fountain Family 07-25-2011 12:36 PM

What is your buddy trying to get for his 29'? Is it listed in the classifieds?

Pawdog75 07-25-2011 12:44 PM

39900 but come this fall im pretty sure 35k will be the number! Since he has already bought a 32 and the 29 is sitting

I havea 29 and not going to convince you into it, as I dont think the 2ft does a whole lot personally. And with a 27 with a single screw you will be fine towing with a half ton gasser. My twin 29 is just on the cusp of what a half ton would tow, and to be honest I almost thinking about selling boat and truck and getting a 27 with a half ton truck. To be honest with you I am fine with getting crappy mileage while towing, but geting crappy mileage all the time as my truck is primary driver I am not fine with.

But one postive is the fuel tank in the 29, think mine is a 113, 27 is like 40 i beleive but you half half the engines

Soldier4402, what your saying is my exact concern! I have a 4door ford f150 4x4 with the 5.4 so im not worried with either boat i just think the 27 will be so much more friendly to pull! since i will be towing the boat often 240 miles to and 240 miles home over the summer!!
