I'm considering buying the above mentioned GW. This is a big step for me going from a single outboard 17' AristoCraft boat that weighs 1000 or so lbs to a 21' twin O/B that weighs 3000#. I'd like some opinions from PO's. Please tell me your likes, dislikes, things to look out for etc, etc. I wrote the GW factory this week also. The PO told me he used it as far out as 25 miles saltwater fishing and family bay cruising, it handles 3 - 5 ft seas and has managed 8 foot once (caught in a storm). I'm not looking to this type of performance specifically but it is good to know. We are recreational weekend cruisers.
Thanks - Scott
BTW- the motors are Towers of Power mercs 6cyl 150's PO said it cruises 40-45knt on nice water about 1/2 - 3/4 throttle with gear. sounds good to me being a "heavy boat" on it's way to a fishing hole. I posted motor question in the Mercury section.
