Bama96 said:Is the motor a 2011? Yamaha came out with a new 4.2L offshore motor last year and there was not a 200 HP in the lineup. There were the new 225, 250, and V6 300. If it is the old F200 I would say that you will be a bit disappointed how it performs on that hull. Get the 250 is possible or the 300. Mine has the F250 and it is a great match. You will need the extra HP when it gets rough.
Capt. Ed said:Yamaha recently introduced a new F200 and F225 that utilizes the 3.3. liter F250 power head, variable camshaft timing, and mechanical controls. I would guess it is a much stronger motor than the old F200's. I'm not suggesting it's enough motor for the boat, a sea trial should be done. It's just that you might want to investigate it a little before rejecting it.
