Silentpard, all sounds good!

The article(s) your probably thinking on are the posts i made when i fried one of my 200 HPDI's and i was planning on going to 4 strokes, and the debates on whether i could get on plane with 2 150's vrs the 2 200 2 strokes. Lively conversations, some pro, some con. However, i went with my gut feeling, as weight was definitely an issue for me, with the 2 150 Merc 4 strokes coming in at around 900 lbs, the feedback i got was 1000 lbs for my WD on a 25. The 4 strokes Yams would have put me a ways over, and i wasn't sure i needed the extra horses.

As it turned out, i pulled the trigger on a couple of 2013 150 Merc 4 strokes (not verodo's) and could be happier. No problem coming out of the hole with a single, and WOT is within a whisker of 50 MPH. (which is plenty fast enough for me)

Spent some time with Tom Clark and others talking props, and we decided from the beginning to give the 19 pitch props off my Yams a shot for a measuring stick, and never stopped. Right at 5600 rpms, and runs like a cat with its tail on fire.

Your 300's should do the same for you even with the much heavier weight of your 27, be very surprised if it didn't.

Can't wait to hear about your seatrials, and if your down Corpus way, hollar at me, and we can have a beer and lie about our WOT speed!
