i need a liberator expert

[snowman51789]

hi i am lookin to buy a new (to me) boat. i realy like the liberator 211's and i have looked at a few and i just wanted anybodys input on them. i think i would rather have a 350 because im assuming they are better on gas and if i find one (but i will take a 454). and i plan on having 5-6 people on it atleast half the time i use it. would i have a problem planing out with 5-6 people? ive herd they are slow to plane out, also could anybody tell me about what the cruising speed would be? im hoping for 25-30 mph. and also are the liberators pretty much the same from 82 to 89? any input would be a big help,

Thanks

David
