Advice on 27 Albemarle

[Stickbo]

Hey everyone, I am interested in this boat. Just wanted to see what the thoughts were on it. I am very curious about what kind of fuel economy you think ui will be getting. I have never owned an inboard powered boat so i need some real world advice. Also i habve been hearing they rock and roll. I am going to use it mainly for trolling tuna in southern New England waters. I am thinking 90%trolling 10% drifting for sharks. Like I said any real life advice/experience would be great.

Here is the link to the boat in case anyone is interested:

Your mpg will vary depending on the condition of the engines but should be around 1.2

Owned a 27 with straight inboards. Trolled great, drift most def will rock/roll. Little tight around those v-8's but a great strong boat that served us well.
