Saving 330-350lbs should be worth a few mph wouldn't you think? I don't know, maybe there's another reason the Verados are used.

The boat weighs almost 11,000 lbs, carries 2500 lbs of fuel and water, add people and gear and that weight savings is less than 2%

Quieter, more torque, better fuel economy, don't have to carry oil with you, etc

the oil savings alone is worth it...trust me, I wish I had a 250 four stroke instead of the 300hpdi:eek::grinser010:

Don't forget the 5 year warrenty and the new heavy duty lowers on the 300 verado's

Yeah we just went through this on dad's new 'toon. Unless its purely a performance boat (Skater, Allison, etc) I don't see any advantage to 2 strokes.
