Why do people run the 2.5s instead of the 300s? Any advantages of having 2.5s over the 300s? Any disadvantages (other than HP)? I really dont know the difference between the 2 motors except the displacement and HP.

Price, length and lack of offshore bracket was what I heard.

What accounts for the weight savings?

280 hp is 375#, 300 is 635# depending on year and all that.

This ones my favorite 24 out there.. Tried to catch up with him at LOTO this weekend but he was an early riser I guess.

Mike's 24 is the nicest outboard skater ever built. The detail is amazing. We ran with him up in Sarasota during the offshore race weekend. Runs strong and flys level.
