250 or 300 for new 24 pilothouse
Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2015 7:42 pm
Hi Guys:
I am wondering what you all would recommend for powering our new boat. They will be hanging the motor next week. We originally planned to use the 4.2 liter 250 Yamaha--but have been considering bumping up to the 300. Our boat is a Riverhawk Cuddy Pro 24 feet with 2 foot offshore bracket. Dry weight is listed at around 4,500 lbs. Looking at the Yamaha specs--it looks like the 250 is a de-tuned 300--same weight and general specs, etc. We opted for a single main with a 9.9 kicker for salmon trolling. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
