OMG my new 300 DEC yamaha is fantastic, gonna take me a week to work out all the functions but what am awesome machine. The trolling function took it right down to 600 rpm for about 1.8 mph and the response and shifting is unreal.
Must say I am quite impressed.
The economy was stellar as well.
Very nice motor.

heres a cool site
has all the different major brand motors , clicck on the hp model , and watch the tachometer
show you the fuel burn at different rpm's !! that 300 only burns 40 ish liters an hour at 4000 rpm
way better than my twin 150 Evinrudes....
Suzuki 300 looks great on fuel at 4000 rpm , the best actually !!

For what its worth.... I've got the 2012 4.2L 300 Yamaha on my Striper 2301.
Gives me about 30mph over ground (slack tide)at 3600 rpm burning about 9.6 gal per hr. with proper trim/2 people with gear and half fuel tanks.
Hole shot makes two strokes a thing of the past. I can't say enough good things about it. Ridiculous power.
Have seen the boat do 40 kts on glass water at 5000 rpm which was NOT redline.
Power when you want it and fuel economy when you need it.

I've run a 300 hp for the last three years. No problems. I've done the valve timing, plugs, impeller..... already. I do a lot of fishing and burning gas.
My burn rate at 30 mph in a 24 xlc Orca with 5 people is 17.5 - 18 US gallon per hr. Running it full out at 5300 rpms and at 41 mph it burns 28 gallons per hr
In regards to the gauge system they are great, I run the fuel consumption daily so I have a good understanding of what each trip costs are.
compared to the Yamaha 250 I had before the 300 gets about 2 gallon per hour better burn rate at the same mph.
Orcas do not get good mileage, they are heavy and the hull design is made for big water and the boat doesn't skip along the water surface. I was looking at buying a new Sea Sport and the found out the Sea Sport 24 burns is approx. 2 gallon less than the Orca at the same speed and this was due to the hull and weight.
Buy the extended warranty (5yr) it is cheap insurance. Anything goes wrong it is big $$$$$.
