Just thought I'd post an update. I ended up going with a brand new 2019 Yamaha f200xb. The service network ended up being the selling point. We primarily keep the boat in a dry stack in Rockport, TX and it was just really hard to find someone to work on a honda if we were in need of serious...

So, I'm kinda new to boats. I bought a 2001 escape 209 a few months back. I was told by the previous owner when I bought to the boat that the OE tank had been replaced with a 30gal poly tank. I plan to make some longer runs offshore in the boat; so i called florida marine tanks (after getting...

Thanks for the input. I totally agree: maintenance is the primary ingredient in reliability. I was just thinking it might be easier to maintain a honda given that the I4 in the 150 is actually extremely similar to the k-series motor as in the in late model crv. Also, I'm used to decoding the...

Just brought home a new (to me) 2001 209 escape. It is in pretty decent shape, but the yamaha hpdi 150 on the back is high in hours and the previous owner maintained it poorly. I'm going to repower the boat before I start thinking about taking out in the gulf for some Texas statewater snapper...
