Well I’m giving up on the wait for my 300 yamaha’s. I’m seriously considering the new 300 Mercury V-8. Anybody repower there express with these motors ? Interested in the results. Thanks for any input.

ocdansar: Can I ask what ‘the wait’ is? I assume pandemic-related lead time issues? How long are they estimating?

Yes because my dealer changed the date numerous times. Glad I’m not a Yamaha dealer. The Mercury 300’s were quoted same money as Yamaha. Problem is the 5 grand in rigging and props I have to buy. Already spent a couple of grand updating all my Yamaha rigging. Oh well it’s only money. Hopefully I can sell all the Yamaha stuff I have.

Lewis R on this forum re-powered his Sailfish with 250 V8 Mercs, he is very happy with them.

Repower of 282 Sailfish
Early in 2020 I repowered my 2002 282 Sailfish with two Mercury 250HP Four Strokes. Unbelievable balance and power with these engines. With the 282 out of the water I also completed a complete refurbish, installed fuel filter water alarms, electric steering, digital throttle, wet sand/cut/polish...

Well I had a boat builder reach out to me . They had a pair of the Mercury 300 four strokes in stock they were willing to sell me. They are dts and they are selling me the rigging also. Hopefully picking them up end of this week or first of next. I’m really excited to get these motors. The V-8 mercs are what I really wanted. I feel like I got a good deal also. After 7 months I there mayb light at the end of the tunnel or should I say water. Can’t wait to splash this boat.
