300hp Outboard Current Market Costs - .....

[seahound]

As a matter of interest, twin 175 Suzi rig combined wot fuel use about 120 ltr / hr for 48 kn on a 7.2m rig. No experience with a single 300 but twins use about around 105 each at wot. I'd suggest going for fly by wire on the twins so this will bump up the cost. At cruise of 23 kn on the 175's economy = 0.75 ltr / nm. The single 300 would be around 0.6 at a guess - a lot of fuel to make up the cost difference.

On the topic of warranty & support, while I've had no drama with suzi support at all, yammies are factory backed. Sometimes with warranty claims there's often more to the story too.

I'd go for the brand / supplier that can bolt the donk on & leave you to enjoy. Proven installs on the same tub as yours.

Enjoy the purchase.

If your looking at twin 175 suzi you might as well stretch for twin yammi f200's and be done with it. They are the same weight and it will put to rest and thoughts you might have about what an extra 50hp might do once you got 350hp bolted on the back.

If it was me I would go with a single Verado 350 Pro

Also Yamaha are offering 3.9% interest for 36 months at the moment, that's cheap money whichever way you look at it.

import two new yammies from the states with smaller boat in a container. on sell the boat (or split freight costs eith someone on here)
chose an outboard known for it's reliablity and you shouldnt have an issue i.e. no real known probs. if anything does die than there's always boats.net parts and your freindly mobile tech

Im in a similar position and got a quote for $32,900 for a 300 fitted with the following

YAMAHA PREMIUM SINGLE LAN DIGITAL LCD GAUGE, SINGLE BINNACLE
YAMAHA SS SDS PROP
FUEL FILTER
MOTOR FIT UP, PREDELIVERY AND WATER TEST(SUBJECT TO INSPECTION)
SUNDRIES

which I didn't think was too bad considering i live in North west WA and he it the only dealer within 1200km

Ok Im booked in on the 300hp.

Going through Marine Tune, which although does have some bad feedback on some fitups, I have cleared a lot of those through endless emails and phone calls with Mark at Marine Tune who has been extremely helpful.

Booked in next weekend so I will update as to how it all pans out!

Cheers

Hey Mustang, did you go with the suzuki or yammy? I'm considering my options for a repower sometime soon.. So far it's down to the 250yam or 300 zuke.. Lots to consider.. What are people's opinions on the greater torque of the yammi vs Greater HP of the zuke? Do they cancel each other out? It's a heavy boat, 2.5t before I put a drop of fuel or any gear in..
Cheers - simon

Went the yammy for the following:
- cheaper
- better feedback for warranty claims
- better digital LCD gauge (in my opinion)
- you don't see many second hand yammys in the 2007-2012 range, but I had option on a lot of second hand zuks.

The number of you guys buying 200hp plus outboards you should have got together and done a bulk deal so a dealer could have passed on some of his volume rebates to you . All the dealers need the business. Perhaps a Ausfish buyers club is in order next time.

Yeah will do mate, but I think he knows!! Im one of those customers that ask every single question known to man!! All relevant though... I mean its $30k we are playing with, why wouldnt I?? lol

Did you take the MT quote to the local yamy man and ask to match it??

My main issue is there's no real local yammy man around here. Closest is probably in rockhampton.

Plus I am down brissy way every second weekend so it's not too much of a hassle.
