300 Verado's have the ability to run on 87 octane, though 91 is recommended by Mercury. 350's will be toast if your run anything under 91 in them. You get 3 years of standard warranty with the 200-300hp Verado's and have the option to buy 4 years for a grand total of 7 years of warranty.

Great pictures as usual Jay.

Slightly off in my numbers.... still it makes a good case for quad vs. trips.

Boating did an article recently on this but they were comparing trip/quads with the same hp per motor vs. 4-300 or 3-350.
