ya, but the 250HO's are 3.4L.................Mercs 2.5L.............a Merc 3.0L, if built, can easily put out 300 reliable hp.........

are the HO's outrunning the 2.5L Mercs? Or are they running the 250XS?

BTW, I am not knocking the ETECS (I am a certified ETEC tech too, along with Merc), but there is no replacement for displacement...........
