Harry,
Since your current engine does the job without any problems, and your
current usage would never justify the expense of the new engine, why
would you consider buying a new engine ?



For a 4000-rpm, 30-mph cruise with a half load of fuel, and three or
four adults aboard. To get that 30 mph now, I have to run a little
higher than 4000 rpm. On calm days, I like to run at 30.


Is the 300 going to have the same block? If not, it will be heavier and
add even more to the load.

Bigger motors burn more fuel at all RPM's so how do you think you will
save $$?
