Performance and Handling

When it comes to performance, the Caymas 281HB offers an array of engine options to suit different preferences and needs. Alongside the standard Dual 250’s setup, other notable options include the Twin Mercury 300 V-8 Verado in both Black and Cold Fusion colors. For those seeking a more unique setup, the Single Mercury Racing 400R V-10 Verado offers an exceptional balance of power and grace, especially with the included Bob’s 4″ hydraulic jackplate. This variety, including options from both Yamaha and Mercury Racing motors, ensures that there’s a perfect match for every boater. Personally, I lean towards the Twin Mercury Racing 300R for its blend of power and efficiency, but the array of choices, including single motor configurations, means there’s no wrong decision.

This feature, along with other refinements like increased boat length, contributes to the 281HB’s superiority over its predecessors. These enhancements underscore Caymas’s commitment to evolving and improving their boats, ensuring that each new model exceeds the expectations set by the last.

Comparative Analysis

When comparing the 281HB to its siblings, the 28HB and the 26HB, it’s clear that the 281HB stands a notch above.
