Well I did the research, spoke to Yamaha direct, spoke to owners and mechanics. Decided to "take a chance" and made a deal on an '05 boat the 300 HPDI's with 275 hrs., generator, bow thruster, 2 - Furuno Navnet displays, Open Array, Auto pilot, A/C, Lay out riggers etc. for $112,500. Ran great...

BobP, that's my line of thinking. I could buy a 4 yr old 4 stroke boat and live with out of warranty engines or buy a 2 stroke boat for $40k less, sell the 300 HPDI's for $5,000 for the pair, re-power with brand new 250- 4 strokes for $35,000 and still be ahead of the game by having brand new...

Apparently the "kit" was to address the saltwater intrusion problem. Also, the motor mounting plates are adjustable and for some reason, the 300's sat lower in the water. I know the Verado's on the BW 305 Conquest sit a notch or two too low from the factory. Anyway, I agree, best to stay away...

The boat in this link has T/250's. I've sea trialed the 33 with T/225's, T/250's and T/300's. They all run fine. The 300's get up faster and unless your heavy on the throttle, any of these configs power the boat fine. I think the 225's with a tower though would be tough. BTW, the boat in this...

Regarding the 2007 that Red Line has, I spoke to the owner of this boat and went to take a look. First off, this is not a Red Line boat. The owner is friends with Charlie at Red Line and he agreed to put it up on his site to get him additional exposure. The boat is For Sale By Owner. I would...

Spoke to several Yamaha tech's and all said the major problems with the 300's was improper break-in and salt water intrusion. The salt water came in from transom mounted fish boxes or motors being too low on the transom. Also they have a tendency of loading up when trolled for ling periods of...

Anyone have a 330 with the 225's?

Thanks Capt.

Anyone have a 330 with the 300 HPDI's? What has been your experience good or bad with these motors? Considering buying a pre owned 330 and it seems that the F250 boats are selling faster at higher prices while the opposite is true on the 300 HPDI boats. Some really great deals on 2 stroke boats...
