new YAMAHA F300

Jeese, If you can wait for those new light 300's to come out you should. That is going to be the best engine option that we have seen in a while for our Venture boats. I think the power to weight ratio will be awesome. My name is Byng Osborne and I am the service manager at Venture.please give me a call if I can help you with anything. Byng

Byng give me your best guess on the new (triple) 300s for the Venture 39 - or is the (triple) 350 yammy package the way to go?

Hmmmmmm....558 lbs per new 300 vs 804 lbs per F350. That's gonna be about 740 lbs less weight on the transom.

Is there a hotfoot set up yet for the 300?

I ran the 31st Contender at the Miami Boat show that had a pair of the new 300's on the back. The motors are sweet indeed and will be a great seller for Yamaha. Additionally the new gauge package is outstaning.

Talking with my "source" just today I believe there has been a slight delay as the motors will not be flowing into dealerships until late May. I know one boat builder that has 13 on order for sold boats. They will get them in the first shipment.
