Best 150 HP OB

[High-Pursuit]

Hi Folks - Well I've been reading reviews and forums on the internet and I'll tell you, it's enough to make your head spin around and around. So I'm thinking about re-powering my 1987 Pursuit 2600 Cuddy. Currently I have twin 150 HP late 90's Yamaha two strokes. I'm looking into some of the newer 4 strokes, verses 2 strokes and the torque curves, maintenance, etc. I like the idea of four strokes (no oil injection, quieter, etc.) but I don't want to give up performance. It seems allot of people are loyal to a certain brand rather than the actual specs. Does anyone know where I can find an OB "shootout" type of chart? Or share your experience and research I just want to buy what is best for my model.

And then there's the whole idea of to one 300 HP rather than the twin 150's.

I think you're going to definitely want twins on a boat that size. Dry weight of about 3800, plus engines is going to push you easily towards 5,000 pounds.
You'll get more torque and better handling out of twins. I would think 150's would be a little small. I've seen a few over the years with twin 200 two-strokes, so I'm guessing the boat can easily handle that, depending on weight.
