Hi All,

In the process of purchasing a 2000 Glastron GS 249. Found a great deal locally and it seems to fit our needs. My only concern is that it has the Mercury 5.0 / Alpha One (Gen2) engine package. The spec sheet puts the boat at 4400 pounds (not fully loaded).

Our primary usage will be cruising - little water sports, and not concerned about top-speed. Will this package be enough for the boat? Guessing getting on plane will be a bit of a task...

Anyone have this boat/engine package?

The 5.7 would be better, but if the deal is right, you can always go with a lower pitch prop for water sports, since top speed is not a major concern.
