I'm now moving from a 18 Donzi to a 27 Baja. I had duals on my Regal 277 Commodore and want to stick with a single powerplant this go round with fuel prices and maint what they are. Under way, can anyone tell me how different the single vs dual plants handle otherthan power and top end speed on the 27. 1st post here so bear with me.

OK then let me ask my question a bit differently. How different does a 272 with single handle from a 29 Outlaw with twins?

I think the 272 and 29 outlaw are apples and oranges. fast answer, the 29 handles a lot better than the 272. the 29 is probably 3 feet longer than the 272, and weighs a lot more with twins, which is going to ride better. both are excellent boats.

Big Thunder Marine on LOTO has several 2005 29 OL's (singles) for sale. Check out boattrader.com. I think you would be happier, but don't try to resell it later. May be tough. My .02...

Basicall I assume that the "handling is a bit different then?
