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 $$?

Do you actually read posts before you comment?

I didn't say I was looking to save money. I am looking to run 30 mph at
4000 rpm. I expect my fuel burn will be a bit more than the 10-11 gph I
burn now at cruise, but not much more.

The 300, I am told, has a totally new block, and is not a punched-out
F225/F250.

This is all conjecture, anyway. I'm mellow about it. You should be, too.

Rough night?

Of course I read the posts but I think that was two questions and one
comment based solely on one of the questions.

So you want to buy a bigger motor for a boat you want to sell and spend
more on fuel, too.

Or you just really like 30 mph at 4000 rpms and are willing to repower
to get that all to happen.

Thanks for the clarification, and I'm very mellow.

Dan

Harry's gonna get in trouble for braggin' !
