Choosing between the 2020 Evinrude E300DGX and the 2025 Mercury 300 SeaPro comes down to your specific boating needs and priorities.

The 2020 Evinrude E300DGX (2020) is a 300hp 2-stroke outboard from Evinrude, weighing 290 kg (639 lbs). Its electronic fuel injection delivers reliable starts and improved fuel economy compared to carbureted alternatives. Power trim and tilt makes it easy to adjust on the water.

The 2025 Mercury 300 SeaPro offers 300hp with 4-stroke technology, tipping the scales at 310 kg (684 lbs). Its more compact 4,044 cc displacement keeps weight down while maintaining efficiency.

At 290 kg (639 lbs), the 2020 Evinrude E300DGX is the lighter option — an important consideration for smaller boats, portability, and overall fuel efficiency.

Both motors are solid choices in the 300 HP class. Your final decision should factor in your boat size, typical use conditions, dealer availability in your area, and budget.
