Hello and Thanks in advance for any advice:
I am considering a late model 306 Bimini or possibly 283 Release. I would like the opportunity to tow the boat a few times a year. I have looked at the weight and dimensions and recognize the additional challenges of pulling the 306 as opposed to the 283. As far as the Bimini goes; I have seen both 250's and 350's on several boats for sale. I did a test run on a 306 Canyon with T300's and that seemed to be a great set up. Do the 250's give the Bimini adequate performance and are the 350's possibly too heavy?
Also, I am trying to determine if the additional cost and the amenities of the 306 (including weight and towing challenges) are worth it?, compared to a boat with 1 ft less on beam and length but easier to tow.
