I would prefer 750 in neutral, but I REALLY don't want it to die while maneuvering in a tight marina! I would prefer the little clunk. Since my marina channel is lined with long sailboats with some extending a few feet out of their 30 foot slips, an out-of-control drifting powerboat would be pretty embarrassing! Sailboat owners already disdain power boats, one drifting into their boat would be intolerable, ha.
