A friend sold his 248 to get one of these with twin 350's. It was a good running offshore boat, but they used quite a bit of fuel on plane. It would troll forever on a few gallons. These near 30' twin inboards were able to get impressive mileage if you didn't plane them out. One friend would leave for offshore on Friday afternoon and motor offshore at less than 1000 rpm. Before sunrise on Saturday morning you were 100+ miles offshore on very few gallons. At the end of fishing you could afford to run in on plane.
