Is anyone running the 360 with twin 350 configuration ?

I am interested in real world performance numbers---

Gee Kev.. seems no one is running the 360 with twin 350's yet. I saw one at my local dealer in Vero Beach but do not have any real world experience with them. I was told by the salesman at VMC that they perform about a knot slower than the trip 250 setup :roll: .

I have the trip 250 setup on my 360 since the 350's were not an option when I purchased. I am real happy with the performance but would give up a knot to get to 2 engines. 3 engines are less reliable (more parts) and cost you 1/3 more for maintenance.

I have not heard much about the 350 reliability, they are just too new so that would be a concern. I would wait a year or so to see what kind of bugs fall out.

Maybe someone on the board will purchase one and let us all know how well it performs.. BRV

We have a 360 with twin F350's ordered and due to launch in early May. I will try to post some real-life numbers once we have some experience. We traded in our 330 with twin F250's as soon as we could move to the 360 with only two engines.

I've had mine since Sept. , Got about 90 hours on it. 3 to 5's not an issue. After that I don't usually go....

Thanks Gulfcart, but I' m italian and perhaps I don 't understand very well what you mean about " 3 to 5's " ... Is it the level of Beafourt or Douglas scale ??
I would like to know how run on the grown sea and if the boat is soft on the waves or you need to use the flaps to have a good trim, ect ...

3 to 5's means 1 to 1.5 meter high chop wave.
I have an older 306 bimini tha i use summer time in adriatic sea, very good boat for those kind of seas.
