Thanks Janis and I thought I was getting somewhere. So the 250 is crap the same with the 300. GREAT

Islander thanks very much for the objective info

. Is it possible to PM me his details so that I can get intouch when I get back to the UK?

The 640 FALCONs we have have been good boats. They lasted quite well with one having 170 hrs on the engine and sailed all over the Aegean in varried weather conditions (some extreme). However, because they are bow light (580kgs with engine) on head on waves (over 1/2 mtr) they bang quite a bit even if you do 15 knots, although they are very good in following seas and waves on the side aft or forward.
We had a few customer complaints about the ride (if you can call these complaints) and we decided to make a change. The choice is between the Ballistics and the RIB EYES. But Ballistics seems to be coming as a favorite.

The F250 is coming out in June next year.

No mention of Suzuki fourstrokes? They are supposed to have a good name!

Still my firm belief is you are always better off with the end of one technology than the beginning of the next!

Have a look at

http://www.outboardrepairs.com/yamah...?yamaha#topics

This is a good site with loads of feedback.

Try putting 250 hpdi problems into Google - loads of info - obvious I know but sometimes people DO forget!!!

Cod don't know about all The Suzukis but the 140 is quite are slow. For example we have a 2-stroke 115 Yam on one of the 640s and a Suzuki 4-strokes 140 on another. Both boats same weight if you exclude the engines. The boat with 115 has a top speed of 39.8 knots on the GPS and the one with the Suzuki 140 has a top speed 44. Both engines have the standard props.
May be the Suzukis are good (although will not trust a 4-stroke) but this one is bloody slow and expenssive for the extr 4 knots that it gives. Economy same as the 115 by the way

Whic is why I bought a Suzuki 225efi - last of the 2 strokes - brand new and about HALF the price of a HPDI/FICHT/Optimax/Fourstroke - that is a lot of fuel......

All I need now is a boat to put it on.........................

Manos · 15 September 2004, 19:51

Are there any VMAXes 2-strokes with carbs XXL leg?

That was a good buy... Good bye to easy starting, quiet running and good fuel consumption!!!

Trust me I own a Suzuki, that will drink more than a mains drain.

Surely there is a bit of a difference between a 40hp and a 225efi???

Obviously it will drink a lot - but then so does any 225 outboard! As to difficult starting never seen any other complaints - our local dive club runs a 200 and a 150 and they love them - 2 plugs per cylinder is bound to help!
