I've been running a 275 with twin 150s for 3 years now, and can confirm, as Tashmoo points out, general sensitivity to trim tabs. Use the tabs sparingly -- I am always impressed by how little is required to tackle a load-induced lean. And, I would also concur that the boat can get 'caught' in...

We've got a 275 with the twin 150's, and have pulled a large tube behind it (multiple kids) and wakeboards -- just entertainment level activities. I crafted a harness that slips on both stern eyes. The boat works fine for those situations, though we push a pretty good-sized wake with the...

Awesome and congratulations! I'm certain that you and your family will really enjoy it. We had ours out today -- perfect day for a little trip with the kids and dogs. Good luck with the customization and delivery activities.

Grant - Congratulations! I saw the boat last Monday at Crocker's service shop, and wondered who the lucky dog was. Awesome set up. Have fun. We had both remotes replaced after delivery of our 275 -- same issue with intermittent response and power. A closer inspection revealed a small...

We haven't noticed any rocking at cruise speed. The boat is sensitive to the trim tabs, and I'll end up fiddling with them a bunch as passengers and the dogs move around. It's amazing what a couple of kids moving from one side to the other will do! I have found a little use of trim tabs ...

As usual, Tashmoo raises excellent points, and highlights several of the tradeoffs between the various systems from stereo perspective. We ordered the standard Kenwood system (with the associated remotes and speakers). We did not order the satellite system from Grady. The XM radio plugs into...

When we made the decision (and it may be today, too), you either went Garmin / XM Weather or Furuno or Raymarine and Sirius. So, our deciding factor was first and foremost the electronics. For ease of use and cost, Garmin won hands down for our use. From a radio perspective, we've had both and...

Grantmey -- We have the 275 with the twin 150s (the 350 wasn't an option when we purchased the 275 last May). I only have positive things to say. We have a Garmin 3210 with the XM Radio / Weather package. The 5000 series wasn't yet available. We very much like the Garmin, and find it...

Tashmoo -- I've been lurking to see if you get any responses. I've got the 275 with twin 150's and am very pleased. Haven't seen one or know of anyone who's tried it with the single F350, so I can't give you any direct input. For what the comparison is worth, the 150's push the boat well ---...
