It's not the frame or shell that is so heavy. It's the foam.

If you are in the rough, the back seats beat you ... this usually indicates a bad driver, I've rode in the back of mine and I didn't like it.
When I'm running hard and it's rough, it's a 2) person boat. ;-)

Okay, so the fronts are what I believe they call suspension seats. They make a world of difference compared to typical hard shell racing seats with no padding underneath.

Yes, mine are tube framed suspension seats.

I'm not sure where to ask this, but this is probably as good a place as any - would a 28 handle twin 400R's ???

There are 28s with triples out there so I would guess it was doable.

mikesufka 05-06-2016 10:53 AM

Can anybody comment on how the handling changed on the 28's when people switched from 260/280's to the 300's? Was there a big difference in handling? Pro's and con's of each set up?

I think the 400r would ruin the handling of the 28'. The boat is not big enough in the transom. If there was a 28 that could have the best chance was my old boat. It had plenty of weight in the front to offset the weight of them
I would use the 300x if you want to go faster.
