Or you could buy my '01 280.Already has full hyd steering and runs 80-81 gps and not have to do all that work! lol Bob

hey that measure you took is wrong, you go from gimbal center which you did to keel bottom, not prop shaft all bravos are the same from gimbal to prop shaft just think for a second. unless they have a spacer or shortie. its the hull and drive. so you are at 17 1/2 which normal. steering is ziegler single ram new and imco twin minus drive plate used

level and you have a notch to, could someone post a pic that changes stuff sometimes.

My bad, I had forgotten to subtract the drive depth.
I;ll head to the garage and grab a pic.
Thanks.

Her you go.....
Bob stop rubbing salt in the wound..lol

Darn, how the heck do you load a pic????

Verbi,Sorry,just trying to sell my beautiful PQ.I love it,just want a two engine 35 before I'm too old to enjoy it!

I hear ya Bob....I think I'm ready for twins too!!
A 30 ft Revenge with the same graphic package would be really nice!!

I just moved to Slidell(off Lake Ponchatrain)and this Summer I want to make a few trips to the Gulf Coast.Like my buddies say...."if it's too big to paddle,ya need two engines!"

I had twins but got out of boating for a while and wanted to jump around to some rivers and lakes just to go boating again so I picked up the 280. As much as I like the 280, I am like the rest of you that would jump up to a twin mid 30 footer if the right deal popped up. I almost bought a revenge loaded with options with the same graphics as Verbie. 496s super low hours but the seller kept raising the price. Had my interest at 50k and lost my interest at 65k.
