    I am in a similar situation with my '88 Gulfstream. I've checked out both motors and have been toying with the idea of the 300. Honestly, I don't know if it's exactly needed, but you know....more power! I email'd Grady and they would only talk about the Yamaha motors, but said the 300 V6...

    muriatic acid treatment for outboard

    Has anyone done, or had a muriatic acid flush on an outboard before? I am looking at an '88 Gulfstream that starts right up, but overheats after about 20 minutes. Just about everything imaginable has been done to alleviate the problem, but nothing has worked. Two professional mechanics along...
