Both of you will appreciate the 290DC’s easy handling and seakindliness. We ran this 29-footer in stormy seas off Key Largo, Florida, with a pair of Suzuki’s new DF250AP V-6 outboards. Even in the rough stuff, it was delightful to skipper, thanks in part to the Teleflex SeaStar power-assist hydraulic steering.

The ride was pleasingly smooth in all sea directions on our blustery test day, though the 290DC rolled a bit more than I expected in the trough. Cats also have the odd tendency to pound a bit when idling up-sea, and the 290DC was no exception.

In calm waters, the 290DC accelerated from zero to 30 mph in 7.5 seconds and reached a top speed of 46.45 mph. Best fuel economy came at 3,500 rpm, where we achieved 1.83 mpg while cruising at 24.5 mph. We attribute the outstanding fuel efficiency in part to the Lean Burn Control technology in Suzuki’s new 4.0-liter 250 hp V-6s.

Looking for a comparable model? Grady-White’s Freedom 285 ($160,825 with twin Yamaha F250s) also combines fishing and family features in a dual-console design. It also has a similar top speed (46.97 mph) but achieves it as a V-hull.

The biggest downside of a dual console is the inability to move along the rail while fishing. But don’t be too disappointed; this might be the compromise you need to make to convince your spouse that a new fishing, uh, I mean family boat is more than just a luxury.
