Mercury Verado 350 or 400?
I have a Nortech 34 that I am trying to decide which power options? Triple engine setup. Attended the Miami show so I spoke with Nortech and Mercury. Any benefit of going with 400s? Speed increases? Longevity? Warranty on 350s is 5 years on 400s 2 yrs w option to purchase 2 additional years. Any input appreciated.

Around a 6 k up charge for the 400 over 350. The 400 need 92 octane to get 400 hp otherwise they detune which probably gives them 350 hp. So if you plan on marine gas 90 why spend the extra money and lesser warrinity.

Great advice by bill63. Honestly, its a CC and quad 400s going 98 mph is cool, but its still a CC.

Almost all the premium on LOTO is 93, and both 87 and 93 are non ethanol. They still carry non ethanol premium at some of the road gas stations there. Very gas friendly area for boaters. I'd stick with the 350s, plenty of power for the 34CC. But I'd still add that bow thruster.
