If I can help answer any questions on a 36 with trips, I set one up with 300xs on it, spent a lot of money and time messing around on it. If I had to do it over I would have had twin 300's.

Ended up with a 32 with twins 250 optis that will be swapped for 300 Verados soon. Seems like the trip 36 boats are hit or miss on ride quality and the twin 36's are a little too slow. The 32 will fit my boating just fine, and the open layout actually gives you as much (or more) cockpit space as the 36.

Cool, I heard the 32's have a nice ride, 250 Optios for sale? Hmm,,, tell me more

2008 250 Optis, 25" shafts, standard and counter rotation. 122 and 123 hours (a little more soon as I am still using the boat). Excellent condition. Very little or no corrosion or rust. $19,000 obo for the pair. Will include the rigging, oil tanks, etc. for that price (minus controls).

Thanks, not quite ready yet, my old OX 66's actually run perfect and I dont really run enough hrs to justify the fuel savings. I had a pr of 06 225 Opti's and was real happy with them,

I shot you a pm about these. I'm interested.

Yeah, I have them now... 1 Air Compressor and 1 lower unit latter........

Pete280

that sucks, good or bad timing depending on which side your on, I definitely did not know about either issue,

I think this is on point. I just don't think you get enough benefit from the third engine on boats this size to justify the additional cost of maintenance, fuel, and the porpoising issues. I had a PowerPlay with trip 250s but I would go twin 300s next time for sure.
