Tiara vs a 262

[phil2]

What's the ride diffrence between a 27 tiara and a pen yan 262 competitor? Looking at upgrading to a bigger boat but if ride is identical or close to same ride

Tiara is 1' longer and 1' wider ,weighs a 4- 600 lbs more and from what I can tell has more deadrise than the Pen. So it should run a lot better in slop. Need more info on the Pen , engine or engines ? Inboard or I/O ? The engines are a lot further apart than a twin engine Pen , you can actually work on the inner facing parts of the engine ,plugs, manifolds ,alternator ect. My opnion,  the Tiara is a much better built boat ,from hardware and overall design to the layup of there glass.  www.yachtsurvey.com  has a write up on the 27 open ,might be worth reading. I assume [ from trying to decipher your post ] that you currently own the Pen.
