Thank you guys for your advice.

I have recently re-powered my 2001 2300 dv with a Yamaha 300 with a factory 17-T 151/2 prop. The hull is bottom painted and tops out at 5,500 rpms. Right now the hull doesn’t plane below 25 mph/3,600 rpms and seems happier at 3,900+ rpms. Probably be fine in a lake or river, but that’s a bit...

Thanks everyone for the discussion. I couldn’t find the capacities placard on my 2001 2300 CC, but rounded up the following info which may be useful to someone else: 1) photo of a page from a 1999 Parker catalogue showing 2300 CC 2) screen shot of response from Parker Boats regarding max hp...

Thank you all for your valuable insight and advice.

Gonna bit the bullet and replace my 2000 Mercury 225 efi. I am looking for any info/issues others may have had repowering - specifically whether Suzuki or Yamaha 250/300s fit on the original Stainless Marine bracket. This boat is slipped so I am concerned about trimming the lower unit out of...
