Go with twin 350 zukes.....we went with twin 300's on our 282 and they have performed beautifully. Handles much better than the 250's. Also get better fuel economy.

Should be plenty....

would be helpful to know what props he is currently running

lol, this thread cracks me up

looks great!

there's a lot of usable space behind there after you remove the floor holding the microwave. Use it all! LOL

just guessing with that picture of your radar and especially your anchor light. I think you're looking at 12'

how high does your radar sit off the hard top?

Everyone will have an opinion, but in the end it will depend on your dealership and their level of service. New Suzuki 300's are awesome. I can only imagine the 350's V6 duoprop would be beasts. here's a short video from boats.com

Yes we did, very easy to do once the old motors are pulled.

We have the same outriggers, but just ran the mono through the eye bolts. Do you have any issue with line moving down with the pulleys as you troll? I have heard some folks have issue with the lines moving down, especially in a turn. Just asking....Thanks!

There was a question about weight and scuppers...I see no difference. Pictures below with both engines. Picture with new engines with a full tank of fuel. Picture with Old engines is when we had our sea trial.

That looks great! Good idea that I might have to investigate.

Iceman...you already know where I stand.....love them!

sorry for my late delay. I don't have a pic right now, but the space is big because the floor is recessed once you pull the microwave out of there. I'm guessing you have about 12-14" of vertical space inside. I will look for pictures. I got the door made here...

We replaced the yammie 250's with Zuke 300's on our 282. Night and day difference and comparable or better fuel economy at faster cruise. Would never go back.

We just used our existing auto pilot. boat definitely rides a bit higher at the stern and just wants to go fast. ;) if you want to cruise at a lower speed, you will need to trim down.

We bailed on the microwave for the very same reason. We bought a custom door and made it a storage compartment.

Nice seat! wish we had a flip up bolster for those gulf stream runs, but we have redone almost everything associated with the seat except replace the seat. We replaced the pedestal, slide and arms. we were very pleased with the results as the seats are solid with no squeaks or movement now.
