Hi there, after 2 small Bay's, I have finally found myself in the position of being able to buy a 305, the boat I have wanted for over 15 years! :woohoo: Hence my first forum post ...
I have had an offer accepted on a 2003, with 450 hours on 5.0l 220HP's with the standard Bravo 2's. I have a sea trial, survey and mechanical booked for the weekend, so will be getting professional advice. I am a typical fair-weather weekender, with plans to maybe do a hundred miles run up north for a week each year or so, with up to 4 people.
Am I going to be OK with the 5.0's? I know people say Bay's are often underpowered, but to be honest I have been satisfied with both my 1750 with the amazing Force 120 :P and the 175 with the 3.0l Mercruiser, so it's fair to say I am not power hungry. I just need to know it will get up out of the water, and stay up there without too much problem.
Thanks
