Ok as spring seems to be trying to show up here in NE NY. It's time to find a new Benni. We sold our 2275RL last fall with plans to find a new (or newer) one this spring. Spent today at a boat show and low and behold there sits a 2013 Q25 QCW I/Owith a volvo MPI 270hp. We really like this boat and spent about an hour talking to the dealer and sitting on the boat. This Benni is 27.2' and has some really nice options. It's a tri-toon with inside riser strakes. My question is what kind of speed should I expect to see from this set up? I've seen many postings over the past couple of years about OB vs I/O and performance. What kind of speed with say 6 adults and full load of fuel? What's a good crusing speed I should expect to see? Is the I/O much harder on fuel than say a 250 hp OB? Pros and cons on the I/O. The dealer has what I think is a great deal on this Benni but I'm stuck between making an offer or looking for another with an OB.. Any HELP? We have some time but in another 6 weeks we will be looking at getting out on Lake Champlain!
Thanks
