Thank you for the replies. Boat would be run on LOTO. Looking at triple 300s vs triple 350s 'Mercury. I have access to 93 octane at all times. I think the 300s will propel boat to 75 while 350s should be 85. Additional upgrade from 300s to 350s is $7,000/each. I don't see too many 350s while 300s are very popular. Worried about what might happen after 2 years of warranty on the 350s.

I to did the same thing, came from a 160 mph cat and went to a CC. Best move I made in boating. You will have no problems with the transition if you use it more places then a lake. They are the best all around boat I've been in. I have a 34 Nor Tech with trip 300s, love the boat. Nor builds a hell of a boat. Loaded or not the boat will run 70 to 74. The 350s will never get it to 85 like mentioned above. And until merc un veils this new 325-350 I would do the 300s all day long.

I did, 38 ZFXO, great boat, 525 hours and really no major issues also. Had some great times in that boat. My CC days started in a 32 Concept, went to the Donzi, huge step up, then the 34 NT. The NT is just another step up, IMO.

Not that much. Your profile looks to have the Fountain emblem, all the CCs I rode in I could never get the opportunity to ride in the Fountain 38 CC. This year in Havasu at the shoot out I seen a fountain 38 CC go through the lights at 88mph. I had to take a double take at the board, it must of had some herrings on it.

My Fountain is a 35 Executioner Keeping it for the time being to see how much I use it compared to the NT 340.
I was just told that the 300s have 3 years but may have and additional 2 years added but wont know until I take delivery this winter. While the 350s have 2 years. Still trying to decide. Will only be run in fresh water.
