Looking at a 2360 wac with a 2008 250hp Yamaha 250hrs. We will be going in and out of a major inlet, in shore fishing. How does the 250 do with this boat? I like the idea of one motor for cost savings in the long run and replacing one motor is more affordable than two obviously. As you know we often see this boat with the twin 150’s. Thoughts?

Not sure about the WAC, however I did fish offshore several times on a 2360 CC with a single 250. IMO its a lot of boat for the motor. It did the job but I'm not a fan of running at 5000 plus RPM's all the time. I would think on the 2360 WAC that motor will be always under a load. Good luck with your search.

I've got a 245DC with a 250. 245Dc won't handle duals, so I was limited to 1 engine. The single 250 works out well. Having had dual engines on a previous boat I see things some might not. The two engines gave me some assurance one would be okay (No, it wasn't..Wouldn't plane or even come to a reasonable speed) and it was easier to dock with dual engines. Single engine is cheaper to maintain and performs fine. I've taken the 245DC out over 80 miles offshore as I know it's reliable, I had buddies within radio range and I carry lots of safety equipment including satellite communications. I regularly take it 20-40 miles offshore without buddies in radio range as I can get towing if I need it in a reasonable time with SeaTow.
I don't really see a problem with a single engine since today's motors are reliable. I could sure use two when docking, but otherwise one is fine, and I've got more hours on my engine than you're considering.
