I thought you had all but bought the 318? We went thru the same ordeal you are going thru and made the same choice. We came REAL close to buying the Four Winns but a few things kept us going back to the Sea Ray. Everytime we looked at the boat either my wife or myself said at least once "but the Sea Ray is...."
As far as power choice, if you want inboards I think the biggest you can get is 6.2s. You can get 496s with a bravo 3 if you want I/Os.
Ours has 350mag inboards and I wish I could give you a real life explanation of how it runs, but the only time we have ran it was during the sea trial. I believe we were cruising around 23mph @ 3500rpm and 23 or 24gph.
I'm sure somebody that has USED their boat can give some real life figures.
Good Luck and keep us posted on your progress
