Yamaha question

[Honey-Do]

Need feedback from a Yamaha guru. I plan to replace my '84 200hp Yamaha with a new unit and have been quoted prices. I can get a 225 ox6 or a 200 hpdi for relatively the same price. Is there pro/con opinions on ox6 opposed to hpdi and 225 to 200hp? My old 24' Aquasport has performed great with the old 200 so I think either would do the job, I just need some opinions.

Re: Yamaha question

honey do,<br />they are both good engines. i know this because i asked the dealer and some mechanics about the same topic. the ox66 is cheaper than the hpdi, but it has the efi, quick start and quiet. the hp is is ofcourse a little better.<br /><br />it upto you. will u feel better with a paying more for less hp or the same for 25 more hp. but heck if u can get the 200 .. u might as well go with the 225. that way u wont have no regrets, or if and, or buts.<br /><br />boating is suppose to be stress free. both are good.<br /><br />good luck,
