I have a 2004 Sailfish 282, Max HP for this year is 600. I am looking at twin 300 Mercury Verrado V8. I was wondering if anyone has a sailfish with twin 300's and if they can share the numbers they are producing.

Thanks

Recently repowered an 04 Sailfish with Yamaha F250's and it easily hits 40-45. The fuel consumption wide open is crazy but at a decent cruising speed we get about 1.5 GPM. Plent of all around power. I have never seen a Sailfish with twin 300's but they must fly !

Thanks , I ordered the Mercury’s, I can’t wait for the spring to see what she can do.

I have F250s and I'm pretty close to the Yamaha performance bulletin. 3500 is about 22 kts, 4000 is 27 kts
