Hi John & Tina
We went for the ex-demo model which did'nt leave us much choice, just a more satisfied bank balance instead.
It was a 60th anniversary 2005 model in blue with the Volvo penta 270hp SX drive. I have found her economical costing only £320 for 21hrs use last season. I have re-checked my calculations and it does seem correct.
We had before a 192 captiva with a 4.3L carburettor Mercruiser, this used more fuel purely on the basis on having to come down off the plain alot, to avoid the wake off other passing motor boats. With the extra size and wait now, we can go over alot of the wash without throttling right down.
Last season really opened up boating for us, as we could stay on the boat and battle choppier waters. Its the best improvement we have done on stepping up boat sizes.
I looked in the brochure at the 282, its massive. I don't think Robin has ever had one in stock before. Is'nt that a similar price to your old 270 at new price?
You certainly could'nt casually stick that on a trailer. Thats a serious size sportsboat.
Where do you intend keeping her next season?
Regards Neil.
