Repower

[Jsmith17211]

Purchased a 31. Looking to repower with 300's. Anyone know the performance of the Suzuki DF300's on this boat. Anyone run these motors? The yammys are probably out of my price range. Thanks.

Just put Twin 300 Suzukis on my '02 31' YF. Still doing some rigging. Hoping to get it in the water for some testing within the week.

Have you been able to test it since the repower? Any performance numbers you can share?

[RudeAttitude]

No testing yet. Got caught up in some parts issues with the Browns Point Marine. They were completely wiped out in Hurricane Sandy unfortunately and the cables I need have been hard to come by. I did finally get everything, so I'm having the helm/control module programmed tomorrow and hope to be on the water this weekend. Will post numbers when I get them.

Got it. I have 05 with Suzuki 250's on it and really like them. Thinking that this coming year will be an overhaul of the electronics and 2014 will be the year to replace the engines. Suzuki would be best because it's what it has now. I know my performance with the 250's, so I'm curious to see if the 300's would be worth the extra cost.

I have a 31, 2007 with twin 300 Suzuki engines. WOT is about 58 mph, I get 1.6 mpg cruising at 36-37mph fully loaded (270 gallons of fuel, livewell, 500 pds of ice, 4 guys and gear). I am currently running 4 blade Bravo 1 props, but am still looking for a prop that may help with getting on plane a little easier with a full load as well as a prop that may help me get closer to 2 mpg. I think I am going to need a prop with more bow lift for that to happen, what kind of props do you use with your 250's and what is your performance like?
