there has been some great info for me here to research.thank you.the reason for asking advice has proved well founded-not much mention of a few makes i thought may make an appearance-probably showing my ignorance hence asking in the first place.my op stands true apart from maybe i will look into a older twin- although fuel costs may scare me back to my original thoughts.anyone got any burn rates on a 28 with say twin 454's?the search goes on.
. I kind of hold on to things I like right Gerry ha ha. a 350 to 450 hp twin in 28 to 30ft range should burn about 35 to 45 gals a hour running with twins a single 420hp to 525hp about 25 to 35 a hour. my 650hp 24ol burns about 30 a hour running 3500 to 4500 rpm.

I had a Eliminator 28 v bottom and it was very good and felt like a bigger boat. It had a 502 with a Pro Charger pushing 7# and it could handle th power in2- 3 ft Havasu chop.

heeeheee I tried 2 yrs ago, sr wanted to much cake for the red 31 unfinished and its a 07 build. jr was working on other stuff trying to move some of the 21s, I think there still working on a deck for it. a 26 was not big nuff. saber28 should be in the water weeks from now, if it stops rain for a few days
. after that theres my other boat to deal with, either sell it or get it running then sell it. working on the jeep to night
