Our pain in the butt surveyor would have been the type to squawk about it. I don't know if Grady puts capacity plates on their 30 footers it is required for 20 and under boats. I'd call the owner and ask if it has a capacity plate and what his thought process was on 250's vs 300. Just giver!Id love to upgrade from my seafarer...any one have issues insuring about with excess power?? Brochure shows hat year marlin is only rated for 500. New ones take 600.
Does every single damn double eagle and hourston boat listing under 18 feet always say DEEP V HULL? Like they can all take on 30 footers? SMHdouble eagle boat C$16,000. DoubleEagle 18'deep V fibreglass boat and trailer. Inboard/outboard motor needs some work.

That might go back to the 60's and 70's when they were always described as a Deep V. It was a common term back then, to differentiate from a modified V. Good advertising, it still sticks 50-60 years later.Does every single damn double eagle and hourston boat listing under 18 feet always say DEEP V HULL? Like they can all take on 30 footers? SMH
