3500 Express Maneuverability

It has the Cummins 450 Diamond Turbo 450's with about 612 hours.  In terms of manuverability, we find it very easy to maneuver using just the engines. Last year we had a very tight slip, and a long Bertram directly in front of our slip. At first, even with a strong gusty wind, my fiance was very surprised how easily we were able to move forward, turn in.place and have plenty of room to head out. We also have a bow thruster  which we never used!
Our boat also has a hydraulic swim platform, which extends out 4 feet.
The boat does weigh about 24,000 lbs., and this definitely comes into play while driving and maneuvering her.
Let us Thumbs Up  know if you have any other questions.
