Ok who has one? Any opinions? Looking at this as well as a2003 Fiesta Vee 290.

I was looking at a 1999 330 with 350's, the owner was honest and stated the boat was too heavy for small blocks. Said if he had more than 2 people on the boat with full tanks and gear they would have to send bodies up to the v-berth to help plane out

That boat either needed a tune up, new filters or was incorrectly propped. With properly running engines and the right pitch props it will get on plane just fine with a full load and 4-6 people. No it won’t pop on plane like inboards with 8.1s, but it will get on plane without sending your largest friends up forward.
