questions on a 1999 penn yan sea tracker

[Penn yan 88]

not sure if any one knows much about this model of penn yan I know they did not make many of them. it's a 26ft single merc 5.7 with a bravo II stern drive. The boat is in excellent condition and comes with all the bells and whisltles but i am a little concerned about the size of the boat with a single engine. Wondering if there would be a lot of stess on the engine along with gas consumption.

I wouldn't worry about that boat with that engine in it. That's basically a 265 Pro-Hunter, and most of them had 350's in them and have enough power. The Bravo II is a better lower unit than the Alpha one too. Is this one the one in MI? If so, shoot me an email and I can give you some details. It's a great boat.
