No personal experience but be sure it has the Yamaha updates installed.

HPDI

I have a 2004 200hp HPDI. I have put over 650hrs on the engine and hav'nt had any issues. Fuel economy is good and does not use much oil. I would buy another one. Great engine :D :D :D :D :D

300hpdi

hey bigfish over here we have had lots or problems with thw 250 and 300 hpdi motors. Seems to be always no2 or 4 cylinders that fail and nearly always a lack of oil problem. Yamaha has a revised oil pump for that model, but after doing the mods my customers nearly always got around 100hrs on a powerhead and it would fail. if you need parts..... i have lots andy
