This was one of two I wanted that got away.. (deposit put down before I could) Not in a huge rush, but I hope to have one by next summer.

you may want to do some research on the bigger singles especially with yamaha's.. their is known corrosion issues in the exhaust housing as well as a flywheel issue on the 300's basically every 300 hours logged the flywheel needs to be replaced.. the fuel burn with the 200-250s(twin setups) is very similar.. even with 4 strokes a decent burn rate is 18 gallons an hour at 4000rpms thats with 3/4 passangers ice and regular gear.. of course those numbers can go up or down.
if your really planning on near/offshore i would highly consider a twin setup. it does create twice the maintenance.
