    Feedback needed please

    I recently installed a 08 250 pro xs on my boat. I am satisfied with the motor performance and reliability as well as the fuel savings is amazing, seriously. With a 26P eagle 3 blade my gps Speedo hit 77/78 at about 5300/5400 rpm. The motor is alot heavier than my old 2.4 225 carb mod vp. It sits several inches lower and when loaded with 6 adults I do not like how low it is.

    Any thoughts on changing over to 2.5 280?

    I am running a 3 ram 20 inch mid with the trim pump and fuel pump being on the motor. This has really cleaned up my bilge area inside the boat.

    How much lighter is the 2.5 280 over my opti?
    Cheers,

    Trevor

    280 / 390ish? opti / 505 The 250 opti is said to make 280 hp. Just makes it in a different rpm range than a 280, which is a hi revving motor.
