Good morning,I'm building a new 34 ft prawn boat should be 7,000 lbs and at least 12,000 lbs. loaded would anyone know how my performance will be powering with 2-250HP Yamaha's vs a 330 HP Volvo I/O diesel.My comrades continue to power their commercial boats with Volvos and continually have issues I'm inclined to use outboards as long as they will give me performance the test is having sufficient thrust/torque to get up on a plane with loads.I see water taxis are believers of Volvo's but maybe they are considering fuel/hrs of use(diesel)considerations.Any experienced opinions are appreciated as this decision re power choice is very important in my competitive business.
