I'd go for the triples 350s if you really want outboards. It should
still run on plane with 2, problematic with one. You can always tilt
up the middle and run on twins for "economy" mode, such as it is.
Personally I'd prefer twin inboard diesels on a boat that size.
I agree. It's funny that for a guy who drives and appreciates a diesel
powered truck,

Not anymore

SWF seems to have an aversion to diesel powered boats. It's
not all about speed offshore as the boats get bigger, although with the
right turbo diesels, he'd have plenty of it.

Diesel inboards would be better for close quarter handling, fuel economy
and, (arguably) reliability for long runs.

If I were in the market for an offshore fishing boat in that size
category, I'd want a heavier boat with twin diesels. Maybe something
like this:
