Default Yamaha 350 on a Chris 26 CC

Today a friend of mine gave me a ride in his new 26' CC Chris Craft with a Yamaha 350 on it.

We did not have big waves but a good chop...the boat rode well(it weighs about 7500#). Nice and dry when going over wakes and sticking the nose deeper.

Performance was really hard to judge, for me it seemed like it took awhile to jump on plane...not like the 21. The boat just seemed heavy to me in a good sense .

We did not to do a top speed run, but at 32-3400 rpms I notice we were going approx. 24-26 mph and burning around 12.5 gal/hr. He said he never sees below 10 at any speed except slow. Up around 30 we were into the 15 gph.

The motor noise was very low. Overall nice boat for what his needs are.

Not quite sure ...but the base is around $115 he's got every option on it. So it's closer to $150. Crazy just for a CC

My take on this is...Toyota or Lexus? Both get you there. One makes a statement and the other does the job...

If you are a MINO (money is no object) then why not.

I will say it is a quality build...glass, hatches, paint, everything done up well.
