Im leaning toward a 300 e tec and a bracket

Keep up on your research & make a sound decision. With today's economy, I would go with the 250 etec. The 250 is cheaper & as I understand, the fuel burn @ cruise is much better. It's the same motor, just tweaked. Sure you get a few more MPH at top end but how much time do you plan on running wide open? Forum member "Bushwacker" can chine in here as he is the pro.

BTW: A kicker as backup would be nice but you will be hard pressed planing the hull with twin 150hp should you drop one. (Double trouble-Double maintence costs)
Welcome to CSC & good luck with your rebuild
