New Yamaha 200hp 20" Shaft 4stroke

[ufangler23]

I was talking with a sales rep at a marina and he said Yam. is finally coming out with a 200hp 20" shaft 4stroke. Has anyone else heard this?....and does anyone have any good news about it i.e. weight, cost etc?

Yeah, the 225HP has been out for a while now, but I'm talking about 200HP model?

I hope it is a 4 cyl.. Their 200 6 cyl is to heavy for most applications...

I am sure it will just be the V-6 200 they already have.

I am a dealer have been under the impression that it will be a 4 cylinder block. I believe most of the new introductions have been put on hold due to the economic climate and the number of existing units in the field.

I am under the impression that Yamaha will introduce a new line of 4-strokes to replace their VMAX or "bass engines" this fall. All of Yamahas HPDIs are 2-star. Jan 1, 2010 all Yamahas will be 3-star. I hope these engines will compare in weight and performance. A 200 inline 4 (3.0 liter) would seem like a good idea?

I've been noticing some rock bottom pricing on the V-Max series...maybe it's a sign...hopefully we will see a new era of less weight and more power
