Engine Noise Level - Merc Vs VP
Posted: Mon Jul 31, 2023 7:22 am
I've posted different engine questions but there's one that I can't seem to find any documentation.
This would be for a 2018+ engine comparison.
Someone mentioned that a VP 280 would be a little louder than a VP300 at running speed because it would need higher RPMs to achieve the same speed. Has anyone compared the VP280 to the Merc 6.2 300 or the VP300 to the Merc 6.2 300. I'm curious how the shifting felt and how the noise was. I realize this is a specific question, just curious.
