repower 99 marlin 300

[grady300]

looking to repower our 99 marlin 300 which has ox66 250's. i know i have seen yamaha 250 fourstrokes on marlins which have been repowered, so i dont think the weight of that would be a big deal. has anyone put 300 fourstrokes though, the weight difference is quite a bit and i didnt know if it was possible or not, any insight about anything to do with repower would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance, Bryan

Suzie 300s.

Forget yamaha Fs.

What is your reasoning for the Suzukis?

 

[BobP]

The Op is asking about 300 HP 4 strokes.

How many are on the market?

The Jenny Craig (before) overweight derated F350s (F300) will sink the boat, he doesn't have many options - the Suzie 4 stroke 300 is the only properly weighed 300 and fits same hole pattern on transom.

I have no idea why anyone would buy an F300.

Is there an 300 Hp Verado?

The F300 is coming in a V6. Supposed to be off the F250 block.

I heard the same about the F200 into a inline 4, a long time ago

Isn't a 99 Marlin only rated for 500hp?

I've seen 300 HPDIs on the Marlin.

Yamaha's flagship motor for many years.
