248 bracket boat
 

45 MPH is really good for having a single 225 on that big boat.

The 248/250 is relatively easy to push with lower HP. They only have 16 degrees of deadrise on them at the stern. And speaking from experience, you don't need to go much faster in one of them. I've driven one @52MPH, and it started to plow the bow into the water at that speed. Not to mention it was VERY touchy with the trim tabs, couldn't hardly keep it level at those speeds.

I like the off shore they have lots of room. the other modles have the step up to the seats and I always hated that in his.

i really like them offshores
