We are shopping for a fishing boat and have narrowed it down to a Grady
White 28 foot walkaround with twin 225 outboards or an Albemarle 28 foot
walkaround with twin 200 diesels with jackshafts and stern drives. The clean
transom of the inboard is sure appealing, and the Albemarle people claim
that having the engine weight in the middle of the boat gives a much better
ride. But really, how much better? Is it a big difference or one of those
things that is real but subtle?

Also what about noise? It seems that having 2 turbocharged diesels right
under you would be a lot noisier than having a couple of 4 strokes hanging
off the transom.

Any other comments about this choice will be welcome. Thanks.
