I don't want a rocket I want economy. Wondering if 200s will burn less or more fuel because of the power to weight ratios (overall weight of vessel)
I will troll allot with the boat so I don't want to feed big engines fuel.
With a reported 600 ft-lbs of mid-range torque, ONE of these guys might do the job, besides being cheaper to operate! http://www.evinrude.com/en-us/engine...etec_250_ho_g2

If a pair of "115's" (~260 hp) will push Terry's big Bertram 25 to high 30's, I would guess that 275 hp would handle that 27, which I'm sure is a more efficient hull!
