I found a great deal on a 2018 330 Express with low hour Yamaha 350's (ugh I know) and 2018 version of helm master. I got a quote to repower with twin new Yamaha offshore 350's, and all new Helm Master controls with EX Joystick, hydraulic steering to electric for around $100k including a new trailer. At that point I'll have $400k in it. Does this cost seem reasonable? Am I completely nuts? I did a sea trial on another 330 with twin Yammy 425's and they were loud as hell and quite thirsty so not wanting to go in that direction. Any advise on the new 350's or the difference between the first Helm Master Series and the new EX would be greatly appreciated.

I'd run the hell out of the existing motors, and save the extra 100k for other costs. The 2018 should be the later series with much fewer issues.

Is it this one? https://www.boattrader.com/boat/201...=goog-bt-dsa&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google
Nice boat and looks like you can definitely get some more hours/years on those engines.
That's the one, was going to fly to AL tomorrow to look at another 2018 330 with 300's but the hurricane postponed my plans. Thanks for the info on the engines. Its hard to find clear information on those 350's except that the series C were better. When the flywheel goes out can it destroy the top end of the motor as well? Is there an expiration date on Yamaha's warranty on that issue?
Went through same decision last year, new 330 6-700k on sale. repowered with 450 w helm master and electric steering, well worth it to me compared to 300s. 2018
