I don't see +150HP adding 10mph.

I thought the 300 Verados had a 7 year warranty? That's what I was told on mine, unless that's an extended warranty.

Here's what I found on the Mercury site.

FourStroke – 2.5 hp to 300 hp (including Verado, Pro FourStroke & Jet outboards) 3 years

Verado 350 SCi
OptiMax 300XS
OptiMax 225-250 Sport XS
Two-year limited warranty for recreational boating
and three-year limited corrosion warranty
Two-year product protection is available

3-year corrosion warranty is standard on all pleasure-craft engines.
Mercury Product Protection is available on select models, for a combined coverage of seven (7) years. Contact Mercury Product Protection at 888-427-5373 to determine eligibility


Not sure what Mercury Product Protection is, their name for an extended warranty??

At times Mercury will up the factory warranty as an incentive. Thus, some folks have a 3 year warranty on their 300's and others 5 years. Mentalpause I beleive just missed out on the bump up to 5 years on his 300 Verados.

Ah that makes sense & sheds some light on things.
When 1 dealer quoted me on a new boat w/ 300 Verado's I was lead to believe he was sweetening the deal when he offered 5yrs of warranty coverage. In essence based on Knot's comments he basically offered me something I was already entitled to.

There is a upcharge for the extra 2 years or extra 4 years in most cases. Like someone said sometimes these are free of charge is they are running a promo usually around major shows.

It could also be tied to a manufacture too where the builder pays for the upcharge. My current boat was that way new. The manufacture, directly thru Mercury (not some 3rd party plan), gave me 6 years of engine/drive warranty. I beleive Formula Guard provides additional Mercury warranty as well (sorry for the dirty word there, NASCAT).

All great dialogue educating the masses!

No worries I'm not a hater just boatless w/ the option to buy what I want so I plan to do so w/ a manufacturer that actually appreciates me & my hard earned $$$.

At the Lauderdale show in 2012 every CC I looked at I found a problem. The NT CC imo, not one. The lay out, fishable, and kinda a hot rod CC, very party friendly, it just all worked for me. I actually ordered a 39 and changed to a 34. For the boating I do the 34 worked better for me, and after riding in the 39 and 34 I felt the ride of the 39 was about 15% better in true 3' to 4's and went 34. I have 163 hours on my boat so far and not one issue. I took my 34 From Lauderdale to the Exzumas, 900 miles in two weeks, boated very hard and not one issue. NT makes a tight boat, very protected from the elements especially in the helm seat, beautiful boat, and the performance for a CC is very good.

FYI, I have 0 ties with NT, not a cheer leader in the slightest. But if your in the market for a CC I would highly recommend the NT

Sorry, Im not the brightest with pics and posting, good luck with your purchase.

Bling- thanks for sharing your NT buying & ownership experience. Nothing compares or can beat the feedback from someone who actually owns a NT & has boated as extensively as you have. Great 39' vs34' comparative analysis. Probably saved yourself a few $$$
