Very nice indeed! Nice sleek lines. I noticed that your profile says your boat length is 6 meters, but based on your pictures, I'm thinking it must be alot longer than that.

I don't think the 350 will be as fast as the ETEC 300, also the 350 only comes with one year warranty.
With a 300 Verado the top speed is 72-75 mph...

The Etec is similar to the 300XS. I have spoken to people with the Verado 350 and the 300xs and they say the Verado is definitely quicker but the 300xs is far better on fuel - so much for 2 strokes versus 4 strokes!!!

What sort of consumption do you get out of yours???
