I ordered the boat with quote but since then dealer called me to tell me mercury is increasing prices by 8%

We both agreed that when you order something with quote a company (mercury) shouldn’t be able to increase cost but it is what it is.   Now a 250 cost the same as a 300 when I ordered

other than a faster top end.

Is hole shot better?  mid range difference?

Cruising at 4000 rpm would the 300 get better gas mileage?

Thanks for any other additional info.

I had a Humminbird 800 series sonar at the bow.  The COM port cable has a y-cable.  One cable goes to the antenna puck.  Can you tell me what the other cable goes to?
