Yamaha F300 or F350?

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"!!!

I have been researching doing a 4.2 300 also on a hermco bracket on my23 There is a pretty good weight difference between the 300 and 350.
From what I have read there is not much performance difference. The new 300 looks like a real nice engine. I have been seeing a lot of used 350 though.
There is a thread on THT classifieds for a shop in Florida selling 30" for what seems like a good price compared to the prices I have gotten.

The 350 is a V-8, I think, I also hear it's very heavy and really likes gas!! The V-6 300 sounds sweet. I guess it's just "cubic dollars" that will make the choice easy.

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]

"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
