I just saw a boat on the freeway sporting twin 150 mercury outboards my question is why not a single mercury 300 ?

How cool did those twins look though...

Saltwater and big water guys prefer two engines for the safety. If a motor breaks while way out they still have one they can get home on.

There's a dock I fish on my home water of 9000 acres. The guy has (3) 300hp Verados on the back of his boat. A bit of overkill

I can beat that. Theres a boat on the upper chesapeake on one of the first docks out that is a 42' Statement (beautiful clean boat) with triple 350 Mercs. On sale for a measly $375,000

Minor league!

Your telling me! I fished around it once and almost tossed a tungsten straight into it. Not I just skip by it haha

Fairly common down here to see boats rigged with three or four 300's or 350's on the back. If I were to repower my offshore boat, I would seriously consider doing something similar. Some of the new steering systems for multiple outboard boats are ridiculously sweet. I've had the chance to play with some of them. A good friend of mine runs a fairly well known boat manufacturing shop next to my shop. 1200 horsepower hanging off the back of a 36' deep V center console is a wild freakin ride.

It all depends on what you're wanting to do.

It all depends on how much money you have

Fixed that

 

The new Mercury joystick controls look pretty sweet.

Well yeah. There is that whole money thing too....

The joysticks are pretty awesome. Got to play with them a bit at the show down here. I think Yamaha has a similar setup as well.
