repower 23' Center console

[My Turn]

I am thinking about putting on a Yamaha 300 4stroke or maybe going to twins. Any experience or suggestions?

I am going to repower a 23 cc with a 300 yamaha and upgrade the fuel tank to 150 galllons. The current tank is 100 is only a couple years old. Boat is in Houston if anyone interested in a 100 gal fuel tank and a 250 Johnson outboard in really good shape.

I am getting ready to purchase a 100-gallon tank. How far are you away from removing the tank and how much $$ do you want for it. I can take care of shipping.

My opinion.....The Suzuki uses a timing chain instead of Yamaha's rubber belt and swings a larger diameter prop. Suzuki also has more negative trim angle. I view all these as better qualities. I'm still running a Yam 2S OX66 and will until it's death.

And the Zuke is 200 lbs lighter too

That ain't no lie fer sure. I have a df 250 on my Tsunami and don't know where I'd use another 50 hp except in the channel. I'd repower with the same and wouldn't think twice. I also think the 250 would save you about $5k as well with a single binicale and gauge.
