Interesting that your top end is higher than mine-- Could be conditions, weight but i am not seeing over 31 knots at 5600 rpms--Also, your mpg seems a bit better--How mucha re your engines trimmed ?

Sorry-- This was with 89 octane gas.

5600 was pinned-- It was turning 30.9 knots at a shade over 1.0/ mpg-- My cruise is really 4800-5200 turning 26-28 knots at ~1.1/ mpg Same rigged boat--outriggers, bottom paint, fuel, water, 4 people, 200# ice, full gear, etc.

I just checked my stats this weekend in FAC conditions-- 5600 RPM doing 31 knots at a 1.0/ mpg---

Thanks for the insight--I am waiting for the 366 too-- That will be a beast (even with Twin 350's)--

What are owners opinions on this new rig ?-- There has to be a few on this board that have taken the plunge---

Yes- You should be very concerned.....Please sell the boat to me !!!! :lol: :lol: I would not worry--although surprised it sits that low---

Pablor-- I will post a picture of my rigger set up but no problem running the line to the side of the boat-- I use roller troller clips and double rig (one to each side) my center rigger--

I am with you-- A Grady 366 with twin 350's would be a monster set up--

I think the easiest is to run the halyards to the hardtop vertical rod holders (I run mine to the second from the top)-- If you look at the rod holder, there should be a very small hole in the base-- I rigged a very stainless carabiner/ shackle through the hole and rigged all of my cords to this...

When will the 366 center debut ? I would expect summer of 2009 (next year) but who knows with current economic conditions-- Anyone have the inside scoop ?

My guess is that the 330 will handle better around the docks than the single engine 23-- With bow thruster and twins that are fairly offset, the 330 handles very well in tight confines---

five here

I thought the major weight shift was to the F350 not the F250-- I think the F 250 is only a few #'s more than the F225 (which would have come on that year rig)--Obviously re-enforced transom for the F350's--

My guess is the 366 will be introduced in boat year 2010/2011 (July 2009)---Twin 350's would be a great match for a 36 CC considering they are now pushing 350's on the 360--

When will the 366 CC be introduced ? Anyone have the inside line on this potential rig ?

I used Bob Eldridge in Wilmington. NC-- He did a GREAT job on my 222 purchase a few years ago-- Contact info below-- R.J. Eldridge Marine Surveying & Consulting P.O. Box 15558 Wilmington, NC 28408 (910) 452-2805 (910) 452-2849 fax

BobP makes a good point-- A 29 Regulator will probably be a bit better in a hard sea than the 28 Grady-- The difference is that you have an extra 1' or so of beam on the deep v guys-- I remember when i had the 283 and the first few outings were wetter than expected (coming from a 22')-- After i...

Depending on the wind/ sea conditions, ANY CC boat will be wet at times--the 283 is no wetter than any other boat--

Only complaint with that hull is with the 225's-- some claim that it is a bit underpowered-- Otherwise a very very solid boat--
