He has no issues..........he just has to push his sticks a little more!!!

Could be alot less if it is 454 equiped

and this speaks volumes of your demeanor

Just givin it back buddy. Dont take it personal. Id still drink beer with ya on yhe lake if were all tied up havin a good time. And the one i ran was too new for 454s. It eather had 496 mags or HOs. More than likely just mags i dont think i could walk away from one with HOs with my prop set up.

According to NADA the 280 silencer's weight is 4,800 lbs vers 29 OL weight is 6,800
Without having experience driving a 280 silencer, I would expect a better ride from the heavier boat.
Also the 29 OL has about 2 foot longer hull due to not having a molded swim platform.
