Opinions on Yamaha F225

[Briguy]

I have heard good things about the 200 hpdi and 150 hpdi. 200 hp is the minimum and you will probably only see top speed of 36mph or so. Many here on this board feel that a new 250hp 4 stroke is the best choice offering plenty of power and efficiency. I just don't think 200hp is going to cut it. It is also a choice between 2 and 4 stroke. Resale value in a few years is going to be in the toilet for any 2 strokes. Get a quote on a 250 Suzuki and see how it compares. Keep in mind Yamaha has had major issues with its 250 and 300 hpdi's. Good luck with whatever you decide.
