Motor Question
 

I have a question on Motor's. I am putting together a new Pro Staff boat at this time. I am looking at putting a Mercury Verdo 300 hp on it (hard to pass up). I have all ways ran Yamaha Four stokes and it's hard to make a decision to change. They are great motors. I also here the Mercury's are great motors. I have ran some of the older 2 stokes but never the four stokes. Gas consumption is a concern. I would love to here some of ya'll's Pro and cons about the Mercury Verdo's.

Gotta run premium in the verado and don't get it hot in the marsh not forgiving like a. 2 stroke

They have gotten much better over the years. The 1st gen had alot of issues. IMO the yamaha or suzuki is a more reliable engine.

Yellowfin bay boat and Yellowfin offshore boat we run have all been repowered to Yams due to mechanical failures of the Verados within the first six months of running them.
