Default Outboard vs Outboards Opinions Up

Currently older twin 150 smokers, gonna go 1 more season on them and then....


Option 1 Twin 4 stroke 4cyl 175hp roughly 985 lbs:

Benefits more power, 1 breaks on water have at least 1 to get home

Draw-backs twice the cost, more weight, more fuel, more maintenance


Option 2: Single 4 stroke 6cyl 300hp roughly 600lbs:

Benefits less $$ upfront and use cost, less weight, increase in distance per tank

Draw Backs of course having 1 motor during a breakdown


So add to the lists above.
I have decided on the brand and that is not part of the discussion.
