opinions needed for new boat!

[carolina-rig-01]

mrs. carolina-rig-01 and i went to a boat show the other day, and i finally got her beat into submission on buying a new boat. we pretty much decided on stratos and now my questions begin. first off we are looking at 2 models 1. 285 xl and 2. 294 xl. now assuming i have 2 average sized guys and a tourny load, what could i expect performance to be with a 150 on the 285 and a 200 on the 294? i know motors will make a difference and i am asking on a motor to motor basis (opti max, vmax, and erude ho) are my options. also this will be my first "new" boat and i was wondering as a general rule how much could i expect to talk down the price. and finally if you were in the market what would you expect them to throw in free as far as tourny shirts, life jackets, boat cover ect.? all help will be appreciated.
