Yamaha f350

Yamaha again helps to kill resale value of Grady White boats. The F350 is no more! RIP F350.

Grady has to offer other power besides Yamaha.

Agree. They should at least offer other manufactures as an option.

Did Yamaha drop the F350 or do you mean since it has been plagued by problems it is not a sought after engine?

It's my understanding that the V8 350 is going away and that they will be tuning the V6 300 to produce 350hp and put some new stickers on it. Also, in the near future, a new V8 400 or 450 is to debut.

I see Mercury is coming out with non-supercharged 4 strokes that may be the death of Verados.

Yes, Yamaha gave up on the v8 350hp and it's going away. Yamaha was the only brand that needed a v8 to make 350hp....not good. I guess they learned another lesson.

The vrod will not die. Vrod is their high HP king. Merc does have new motors but they're 175, 200 and 225 HP 4 strokes. They come in different colors too. Nice job Merc!

I'm sure GW gets a good deal and ran the risk/reward calculations. With exclusivity there are unintended consequences and unforeseen risk, hopefully it doesn't impact future sales. Yamaha has a less than stellar reputation for standing behind engine issues.
