That is one heck of an upgrade! The fish around Pompano Beach are getting nervous! You going to sail it down the intercoastal?
If so, can I come . . . . ? = )

Nice find. You wanted a twin motor and this only has one.... Are you sure that you'll be happy? Yes, I'm playing devils advocate.

Actually, I think his original post was he wanted a single engine. I only remember as I thought it odd.

Very nice boat. I know you'll be much happier with that. Many people still talk dual motors and all, but the talk I am hearing is that in your size range, singles are just fine. The reliability is there with the new motors that it isn;t the issue it used to be.

Have fun and please still post as you conquer bigger waters!!

Congrats, nice looking boat. The big question now is what are you going to do with that extra 30k burning a hole in your pocket?!? :p

Very Very nice I have been looking at the Triton 220 or 240 LTS just because I do so much fishing from the front deck. After getting back in my buddies Triton and running 50mph at just 2700rpm I realized how much more efficient the outboards are. These also have a 60gallon fuel tank!!!!!!!! Double the fuel so I don't have to worry about pulling the boat during a week long trip. Oh and the bait live wells!!! Sooo much space.

Yes, duals are always nice and a great safety net/insurance, but that concept was born in the 80's and 90's when all outboards were 2 strokes and it was 50/50 (figure of speech) chance if they would even crank over when you tried to start them. Today's engines are alot more reliable
Tell that to the triple four stroke engined 35' Contender that limped home from Bimini on one engine after two failed on the crossing to Bimini last year. Personally I believe two are better than one.
