I owned 250efi's on my last boat and WOW the oil burn was extremely high. Also the counter roatating engine will go through some drives as this was a know prob at Merc. the efi's smoke and stink like heck and if you put 4 of them on you better find a place to store around 30-40+ gallons absolute min. (no exageration) of oil.

225hp 4-stroke Yammys, sent you a PM.

Congrats! Will be BadA$$ with a capital BA.

Optimax's burn alot MORE oil than the EFI's!!!!!

does anyone know if 23" centers will work with opti's

Now I just need to find the engines.

Did you get the boat from Byng? Whether you did or didn't, ask him all about engine centers, installed heights, etc., on whatever engines your going with. He owns Marine Machine AND owned Midnight. If anyone would know, he would. www.MarineMachine.com If you need his cell number, let me know.

250 or 300xsopti any day over 4 strokes .

Thanks, ED I bought the hull from last owner of Midnight Express Inc. . I have spoken with Bing in the past, and could not recall specs.

This hull has a pad @ transom and will be laid up a lot lighter than the old. (It is being built for me.)

Picts to come soon!!!

I am definetly leaning towrds a pair of 250 xs I found. I just have to consider if I can findi 2 more. The price is definelty right

250XS, best OB motor I've ever owned...300's probably just as good.
