Anyone running Merc 300 verados on a cat?
Just wondering if anyone is running a pair on a skater, spectre, or motion cat? Are there any advantages to the 4 stroke outboards versus the XS's? I know they weigh more so will they be slower than the 2 strokes?
How about the 350 verado's?

While there was talk of surfaceable lowers for an application like this, it never happened.

The Verado weighs about 120lbs more than the XS so you'll take that hit if you go with them. That might not be too bad for a V, but that much extra transom weight on a cat will not be good.

As stated, the lowers on this platform make it a fail. The lowers are also not interchangeable with the sporties.
Weight is also an issue. I suspect the lower RPM's would be as well.
EDIT: I thought i heard they were making a HD lower for this, but I heard it was a 5" hydrodynamic fat pig that defeats the purpose...

If someone had unlimited funds and alot of time it would be a cool package.............
