    300xs or 250 ho

    I now have a Monty v-8 on a 23 pad vee weighing around 2900 lbs rigged. (everything except fuel.) I am curious how much difference would the performance (top speed, accelleration, fuel economy) be between the merc 300xs, the etec 250HO, and my Monty stage 2 v-8. Long boat trip this weekend prompted some thoughts about what performance options I might have. My current boat will run mid to high 70's with a best of 80. The motor runs great, just a little thirsty. I know that there will be some strong opinons on this so have fun and tell me what you think.

    Hey just wondering if you ever got any results. I'd be curious to know as I'm in a similar position.
