Here you go 300XS
If you go to our website www.teamshogren.com and look at the eliminiator under other used boats you can see a set of new (less than 15 hours) with warranty 300XS. Feel free to make fair offer.

hi guys,
I'm refurbishing a runabout, and "surprisingly" want lots of horsepower in outboard form.
What would be the best ? I think 2 strokes becaue the weigh alot less. Many people opt for the (2 stroke) yammy 300 HPDI's can anyone tell me the specs on those?
cheers

Yam 300 HPDI's , I would shy away from, heard of a lot of problems from owners.
FOUR STROKES WHY!!!!!!.......whats wrong with the MERC 300 OPTIMAX
Lighter, faster, better fuel economy no oil changes, no winterization.
Only down fall is having to urchase 2 stroke oil. I rather do that any day.
Re-Sale I agere with ....only because the consumer is un-educated
And yes the E-Tech is also up there IMHO but MERC forever!!
And be careful if u do go with a 4 stroke they are tearing the transoms out and resposnible for sinking boats at docks due to the increased weight. Another words make sure your scupppers dont go below the water line!!!

On top of it all the 2 stroke is loud and smells and you have the messy oil tanks, look into the bilge of an older 2 stroke.

2 strokes
If you want to go fast and have no maintence go with a 2 stroke. The 4s' weigh to much and are best used in twin ,trip or quad application. I have a velocity with twin 280s' and would not even consider a 4 stroke. I have plenty of friends with verados. They are pigs. Any my 280s' get great fuel economy if you keep the rpms' down. My .02 cents. Bob

But I will say that I drove my buddies 35 latitude with 4 strokes and it was nice and had a lot of torque.
Just not a two stroke though. Nothing like a 2 stroke screamn....especially 4!!!!

Either way the boats bad a$$ and a boat like that would do good with 2 or 4 stroke power.
And I am with you on the way you like the sound, I myself like the big block V8 but on the CC I am going to buy would perfer it to be very mellow like the Verado other 4 strokes just sound like an engine.

I know if you took a boat like a 42 OL and put 3 525's with bravos then the same boat with 850's and # 6's the hp and lbs. is close to the same but the 850 boat is faster, the props are in cleaner water and a better balance to the boat. With outboards they don't have as much tq. so the props are smaller so does having 3 4 or even 5 just keep getting faster or is it better to run fewer and more hp.
