I thought there was concern about lagging performance when heavily loaded. In the heavily loaded scenario, I would expect twin engines to perform more consistently. I didn't see those sorts of comparisons. Nice boat either way.

I definitely agree. I like top speed, but making sure we can run efficiently with a full load is very important. Unless custom ordered, it seems to be rare to see the 28' in a twin engine format. I'm more of a buy it off the lot type of person so I would probably end up with a high hp single. My Eastern only has a 150hp Yamaha, so I think that going 300+hp on one of these will still do well.
