So I posted awhile back about my 200 Ocean Pro giving me constant troubles. Well I have the problem solved....I have a Suzuki DF250APX being put on this week. I know it isn't a Yamaha but with the motor availability and warranty its where my decision landed. By July 4th ill have new Garmin system, motor, new audio, and lighting!

Have you seen the motor? I've heard that there can be delays in procurement right now. 8^)

It was sitting in the dealership waiting for a boat. Someone ordered it and backed out so I got really lucky.

You are VERY LUCKY, congratulations. I am pretty frustrated, I am being told November/December for a Suzuki 300AP 30” in white. I am told a Yamaha 300 is next year.

Suzuki’s are good motors. I’ve had excellent experience with them. Get your own wire harness at the right length. It shouldn’t take until august. Check out browns marine and or boat specialties in pompano. Both are big players with Suzuki.

So I've checked Browns Point Marine and a couple other smaller dealers and they have binnacles. Does anyone have anymore ideas?

Alright the repower is complete! So the Suzuki 250 is on the boat and first day out was great. Nice smooth, quiet ride with plenty of power. Also the custom dash, fusion sound system, and led lighting make it even better. All I have left now is to have it buffed out and restriped!
