Our used motor search doesn't seem to be turning up what we want and going new is starting to look like the only solution. Hopefully there will be some boat show specials that we can capitalize on. Does anyone have experience with the Yamaha F200. It is intriguing for our setup due to it's light weight. However, a lot of the internet searches that I have done suggest it might not quite put out the full 200Hp that it's touted as. In fact several people suggest that it really isn't any better than a 150. Can anyone weigh in? We are replacing a Honda 200 and don't want any less power than that we also do not want anymore weight than the 588lbs of the Honda 200. The other motors we are looking at are the Yamaha 250hp (4.2L not the 3.3) and the Etec 200 HO. Suzuki and Verado's unfortunately are out due to weight.
Thanks
