I'll be very interested to hear responses to this question. I think my boat is OK, but there has been so much discussion about this topic it makes my head spin. Many years ago, I changed the aluminum bang plate cover, that was beginning to pit, to vinyl and sealed it well; I see no indication...

I repowered my "old"" 330 Express recently with 250 Yamaha's. I'm happy, but we're talking apples and oranges compared to your higher horsepower hull. I just hope you're able to find motors in this screwed up pandemic market!

"Popping loose" - please explain??

Glad to donate - thanks for a great site!

If the motor has not had the corrosion repair kit installed, I'm not optimistic about what you're going to find. I hope I'm wrong.

Similar experience to "Fowl Hooked" with my 330 Express, but I went digital and glad I did.

I have a 2003. Used the 225's just as you described - I was very satisfied. I just re-powered to 4.2 L 250's - I'm a little more satisfied.

Congrats on your new purchase and your videos were fun to watch! I've had mine for 10 years and couldn't be happier. Enjoy :cool:. By the way, I get an average 1.0 mpg with my 4.2 L 250's - repowered earlier in the year. Still using the props from my old Yamaha 225's - looking to play with...

Congrats on your new purchase. I am fortunate to have purchased an 8-year-old used 330 in 2011, trading in my Marlin 30. Everything was a lot more affordable then :cool:. I know both boats and can only say good things about them. Both of the hulls handled remarkably well for their size, and...

The back of my control knob is more accessible on my 330 Express. I had the same problem - was a loose water connection. I snugged up the water tube onto the connector and problem solved.

There is a Dynaplate installed on my 330. On page 7-32 of my owners manual it shows the Dynaplate and states "Aft Rigging Area Undergenerator Subfloor" Hope this helps.

For your desired use, I vote for the dome. (....and this comes from an open array owner :cool:). Congratulations on being a "sensible" boat owner!

Same fittings on my 2003 330 Express - I'm sure they are factory installed.

The Kohler is easier - not EASY, but easier :cool:.

I hear you - just being my wise-ass self and, maybe, a bit thankful that I live in SoCal, where tomorrow is often calmer.

I wouldn't want to be in 6-10 foot seas in ANY boat. When you're retired - there is always tomorrow :cool:

Windshield defroster - do a search at Amazon under "Boat Windshield Defroster" - Caframo brand - about $35.

Yamaha does make kits that change the gearing from CR to regular - not sure of cost, but if I remember correctly, not too bad.

Many years ago, I bought a front windshield defroster (held in place with suction cups) that was powered by a cigarette lighter outlet. It may provide just enough heat for you?!?!?
