This question is a real personality test. It comes down to flat out
speed and bragging rights in the bar against just about everything
else (if you leave out cost).

The two stroke will have higher fuel consumption plus you will be
burning oil at the same time which isn't cheap. You'll also be
polluting like crazy. The twins have redundancy but the higher weight
and the drag of an additional lower unit will cost knots. That will
cost you big points in the bar.

It's pretty much a no-brainer for an outboard boater.

Enjoy that two stroke

I want to order a new 26' walk around from a local dealer.
It could come with a pair of 4 stroke 150's or one 2 stroke 300.
What would be the characteristics of each set up?
About all I know is that the pair weights 932 lbs, the 300 weighs
543.
Lets leave initial cost aside. All engines are Yamahas.
