I currently have a 270 Sea Ray and plan on moving up. I looked at the Wellcraft 29 Coastal which has 225 Yamaha four strokes. I like mid range cruising including island hopping(bahamas) and recreational fishing. I like the boat, however I know nothing about the new outboards. Want to know what fuel usage to expect and hours of life before I would need major work. I was considering going straight inboard diesel like the mainship 30 for fuel economy and engine life reasons until I saw the Coastal.<br><br>
