One thing you will notice about the differences in outboard preference is the type and temp of the water they are in. We've got hot, salty water around here(harbor temp was listed at 82 yesterday)

Only 82, we had 92 in the Bay a week back(dropped down to 89-90 right now).

Daaaaammmm.!!!. That's just too hot for ocean type water. Might as well just take a shower.

The KEYS during sportsman lobster season are like bathwater. Not uncommon to have 95 degree water in 20 feet on the gulf side.

Ridge and Ferm, my buddy Marc(the T-Top guy) just got his 25 Sea Vee up and running, its been a long restoration and its looking sharp. He's got a pair of stock 200 EFI mercs on the back of a twin bracket, with 20" offshore mids(sounds great) spinning 24 choppers, he got 68.2 running against the rev limiter. Tried it this week with 26 choppers, still hitting the rev limiter, GPS stopped working, having water pressure issues. So far he's not even trimming the engines. Thought about the porta marine low water nose cones(the plastic ones), will probably end up with Bobs cones on them. He' got the prop shafts 5 1/2 inches above the bottom(lots of set back) and it still launches like a rocket. I'll get some pics for ya'll

Water runs low 90s here this time of year. Of course that's what a 105 to 110 heat index will get you. God I'm ready for fall!!

Since we are on the subject. What about twin 200 2.5l? Hell with the bracket i plan to build it is more than capable of taking them and with the added flotation the V will sit about where it sits now with one motor on the transom.
