OK so I'm looking at upgrading from my 1999 280 silencer powerquest. But I'm on a very limited income. I love my boat an it handles my lake Pritty good ( my lake is loto) the main reason in looking to up grade is the docking benefits of twins. Pros an cons anyone? ?
Another thing I was thinking a small 30 to 34' with twin small blocks.

First thing that comes to my mind is your gas bill will increase, for sure!
When you get more power, (you'll love that) you will use more power & that burns gas too!
Insurance usually goes up with twins too!

a 31 /33 /34/35 sutphen would be perfect for lotto with twin 500s or bigger those boats run low to mid 80s. its a 26 degree hull plus the cabins are big. the hull stays wider longer heading to the bow. they eat rough water. most of the new england hard core guys run sutphens, I was going that route but, got a deal on a 28 saber hull for my project. which is another rough water hull.

Will twin small blocks eat up that much more fuel? Speed don't bother me to much I cruise bout 35 to 40 all the time I got a little one so go fast doesn't happen very often at all
