Sailfish
Yesterday I removed my original s200 Yamaha's and rigging, I decided to install a single 350 Mercury verado. I will keep updates on the performance and fuel economy.
I haven't seen a single engine sailfish and figured I could give it a shot. I'm thinking it will be within 2 mph.

interesting choice. I would have gone with twins but interested to hear how it performs. im thinking you will miss the traction of two props, maneuverability etc

Keep us posted. I recently purchased a 1995 26' Islander and am considering doing the same. I don't fish offshore much. I hadn't thought about the traction of two props......
 
Sounds good, Im getting all the rigging supplies this week and will take some pictures. 6 years ago I removed two old two strokes from a gulf stream and installed a single f250 and was very happy. Im in the industry so I have easy access to everything
