Why do people run the 2.5s instead of the 300s? Any advantages of having 2.5s over the 300s? Any disadvantages (other than HP)? I really dont know the difference between the 2 motors except the displacement and HP.

Price, length and lack of offshore bracket was what I heard.

Mike's 24 is the nicest outboard skater ever built. The detail is amazing. We ran with him up in Sarasota during the offshore race weekend. Runs strong and flys level.
