are you talking about tripple 3.0 liters?? good luck with that....all that weight so far back on that small of a boat will make it extremely ill handling.... nose flighty and porpoise machine are two poor handling charachteristics that come to mind....

sell your 225s and hang a pair of 300x motors in there place and you will have something fast and reliable.....

ivan2214, I first had a pair of '98 PM 300 , boat ran 71 GPS. Switched to '03 300X's ... 80GPS . Very big difference between each motor. The tags on my 300X list the weight as 444 ! "HIGH LIFE"
