Looking at a 272 Sailfish that has 2015 Yamaha F200s. I’m going up from a 268 Islander that had 200 HPDIs so this seems a bit under powered to me. The boat is a few hours away so if anyone could give me some info I’d appreciate it.
 
4 cylinder 200 or 6? Mine has 2005 F225s with lots of power. The 4cyl 200 saves a lot of weight.
 
Yeah, F225s are about the same. Plenty of power. More than you need if you aren't going to pull waterskiers. 8^)
 
Thanks for the reply’s. I don’t know which model 200’s they are just that they are 2015s. The seller really doesn’t have too much info on the performance numbers(broker). All others I have seen have 225s or 250s and this one has been for sale for quite a while which is why I’m suspicious.
