The middle one has the most power though.....Out of the three I'd take the E-Tec. They were having major issues with the 300 HPDI, not sure if they got the bugs worked out of it yet.

Well I KNOW he ain't gonna hang no Merc; he probably already knows about the explosive history on the 300...so we'll be OK...I think?... ::) ;) ;D...

LOL that is crazy to put a 300 on one side and a 250 middle and an unknown HP E-TEC other side maybe a 250 or 275 ???. The E-TEC will make the most HP out of the 3. plus the e-tec's are over 100 lbs lighter than the Merc an over 200 lbs less than that 300 Yamaha.

The story on the boat is that the sponsoring dealer sells / services all three. The specifics on the setup, all three motors dyno at about 276 hp. They are the 300hpdi, 250 Etec (HO?) and 250XS. Had to be hell to rig that thing.

ah ha lol so Yamaha tell's story's about their HP which means MJ really has 25 less HP than his hood says lol. Yamaha must do what Mercury and OMC use to do. rate the HP at the power head and not at the prop lol.

The Merc is in the middle cause it has the most power. The Yammie is puttin out 276hp and the 250 E-Tec HO is puttin out 260. They were propped to compensate.
