Re: 1997 Larson 290 with 7.4 Duoprop
I've got a 1996 280 (exact same boat as yours) and it's not really bad. WOT speed around 35 kts, hole shot respectable, stays on plane, and cruises really nice at 25 to 27 kts. It's not a speedboat by any means, but it holds it's own for sure! It's a cruiser.
Another plus is the room you have in the engine compartment!!!! Working on it is nice!
