I run a 260 merc v8 i/o. What kills me is if fish all day i can rack up the hours on the boat. Your right about milage. There is not much savings, its really the hours that accumate that kills me. Also, If I through two 5 gallon palesd off the back im still at 2.8 knots. Not ideal for tube and worm. Fishing near rocks, i am scared to death. If that bravo 3 gets dinged up$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$! Not to mention i will drift into the rocks or worse. I think it comes down to how much you fork over for the kicker engine. I like the idea of sneaking up to a school on stealth mode. Only a four stroke cn do that.

thats why they call it fishing not catching
