Thanks for the information about the generator battery. Now I have to figure out what to do. We went to a boat show this weekend and the wife now tells me she likes the 31PC better. OH-BOY I just cannot wait to call my salesperson on this one We will see what happens. Once again thanks to all who responded to my questions. I think this is great forum where much information and knowledge can be exchanged

Gas burn will be about the same but you will have a higher cruise speed as well as top speed. The 496 will take all the room available and will be a bit tight to move around it an service it. The 6.2MX will do fine, you will cruise at 30MPH and top in the mid 40s which is just fine for me. I had the boat loaded and had no compalints with performance.

The only thing I found wrong with the 31pc, is be careful if you have to tow it, I looked at one before I bought my 27pc and with the wide beam, technically you had to have a permit to tow it in Fl. and you'd better have a serious truck.. other than that I'd have owned a 31 but I store my boat at home and tow everywhere I use it.
Just my 2 cents worth. Nick :
I've got damn near the identical boat your looking at, and on the trailer mine stands 12'10" high, but that is going to vary a little.from trailer setup to trailer setup. make sure you allow for the horn, tv antenna and the anchor light that are mounted on top of the arch.Velocity260 said:any one know what the hieght of the 27pc is on the trailer? Just want to make sure its under 13'6? When I tow it home I have to go through milwaukee to get back to the north pole. It has radar arch facing the stern.
Velocity260 said:thanks sounds like I am going to have been careful when trailering talked the salemsman into a triple axle loadmaster for the boat. I drive trucks all the time that are 13'6 high ripped off a few telephone and cable wires usually just tree limbs ;D. How has the boat been for you any problems, I am hoping since this one is used some of the little things are fixed. the boat looks in good shape engines only have 60hrs on them.
