OTOH, with the twins, you can still get home if one breaks.

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.
