I just re-powered my 2005 marlin with 300 Suzuki’s. The Yamaha F250’s were great motors, and I was somewhat reluctant to change because they have been very solid and reliable. Never had an issue with over 1500 hours! However, I‘m looking forward to a 100 more horses when running to the Abacos and the fly by wire. I also expect to get slightly better fuel economy while running a couple of knots faster. I’ll report back. .
