Far right please or if you twist my arm far left. :o

Re: Can't decide which motor???
 

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.

HURTS my eyes...like to know the story... ::)...

You're right, Tin...the other two are there to get home when that 300 blows... :o...

HURRY UP AND DELETE THIS BEFORE SKOOLS SEES IT!!

Re: Can't decide which motor???
 

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...

Re: Can't decide which motor???
 

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.

Re: Can't decide which motor???
 

So your saying three ETECS across the stern there brother :o

Re: Can't decide which motor???
 

na it only takes 1 E-TEC to compare to 2 Yamaha's and 3 Mercury's ;D ;D ;D ;D

Re: Can't decide which motor???
 

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.

Re: Can't decide which motor???
 

you mean that boat only has 828 HP what a poor HP rating. :P It needs another couple hundred horses

Re: Can't decide which motor???
 

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.

Re: Can't decide which motor???
 

I no care I like my Yamaha :P

Re: Can't decide which motor???
 

that's right MJ to each his own to the merc guys sorry for all your sore arms from rowing home & black nightmares and to the yamaha and omc guys we all get home lol.
