Re: Yamaha F300 or F350?

The F300 is lighter than the previous generation F250s with 50 more horsepower. That's what I'd be looking at, if you can find one.

In my case it's "if I could afford one" [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Check out this post from another forum. It's a 23'er and the numbers are rather nice on his F300. They are not as nice as the legs on Sam's cuzin Amos's girl friend....the one with the sexy red bikini and "large curd fat"!!!

Pathfinder 23DV

"The F300 is a stellar engine. The SDS props are totally silent. It is smooth, quiet, efficient and strong as an Ox ! The power above 3500rpm is hard to describe. The 19 pitch SWS prop is perfect with the new lower unit ratio. WOT speed is 57 light, and at 3300 I cruise at 27mph, & 4.0 mpg.
Excellent numbers for a 4500 lb deep vee !!"

Those are impressive numbers. I'd be happy with half that fuel econ. right now
