So it looks like merc has 5 300hp offerings
1 300 verado which I am passing on
2 300 V8 base model
3 300 sea pro workhorse which looks like a tq engine long int. Runners with their best fuel miliage
4 pro xs which looks like their all around perf engine
5 300R which is the race engine short int. runner highest state of tune

Do the base engine seapro and pro xs have the same intake runners

anyone know if the 300R HD which has the solid motor mounts with single ram is avail with the 5.44” HD lower? And with the tie bar mount from merc?

i want to put the 300Rs on my 32 manta but will be both chartering the boat and running groups of about 22 ppl in a 4 hour round trip every other day until I get my people hauler built.

Thanks in advance for any info Rm
