I am patiently waiting for my OFS4 15 from Ken. Been a couple of months now. Your report is very encouraging in every aspect, as this is what would hope to see when I do the swap, 2021 2320 with F300. I should clarify, the factory prop actually works great in flat water, it's outstanding really...

THere is no one definition. The name was initially used for larger lobster boats with a big cabin, but many would nowadays think of those as diesel powered "motor yachts", just not full-luxury. Obviously a very different category that the o/b powered 2320...

You got a lot great responses! Riding in the rear, sitting at the stern bench, or bean bags, the ride is GREAT, for this size boat. I'm not sure you will find anything much better than a 2320 Parker as far as sea worthiness. BUT Riding inside the PH - you have to contend with two issues, both...

I believe they got a new service manager at the beginning of the 2021 season; talking with him a couple of times I could see how their service department could be an issue, but our experience was fine. Our salesman, the whole purchasing process was, basically, perfect. They were as responsive...

I'm at work and can't read all - sorry. NJ Outboards in NJ has been a great dealer - honest and transparent. --

I think the key is the choice of a prop. I hear you. But we have choices. Yamaha can not predict your sea conditions. Just sayin. --

There are dozens of threads of this issue, yamaha outboards "making oil" on THT. None leading to an engine failure. Collectively, it seems those new 4.2 V6 Yamaha motors like to be ridden hard. That seems to be the cure. I can live with that! --

Like which one? --

I have the Powertech OFS4 in 15 pitch on order from Ken at Prop Gods. I used Solas 4 blade props in the past, some time ago w 2-strokers, I loved them. May add this one that you are running. One can never have too many spare props, right? lol. My first oil change has had slight fuel...

May I ask what prop did you change to? I am not an expert, but that top speed seems very high for the (low-ish) RPM at WOT. That could be contributory, possibly? My 2320 w/F300 w/factory prop tops out at 50mph revving 5,900 RPM.

Both are totally doable. I have guide posts with lights that stick out maybe extra 6" of width, no issue through tolls. There is a stretch of GSP where trucks and trailers are excluded, I would need to check exactly which part, as we usually use 95 and then 280 going home. But going down to the...

To me, the 2320 is the upper limit of what I would want to tow with any degree of regularity, even though mine is bottom pained and wet slipped I pull her up whenever I want to and trailer easily with a large SUV, we fit just fine through NJ toll booths, lol. --

Or - rear view mirror? I'm so used to having one in my ski boats, I really miss it. I constantly look back to check on things; will need to install one.

I just received the kit. It feels SUPER solid. Funny thing is, me being an avid amazon shopper, I'm reflexively anticipating things to appear significantly smaller/ lesser-built as compared to portal pics... but not this one! It feels overbuilt, pretty awesome. Now, I just need to figure out...

I second that! Just placed my order for the cooler kit, have been wanting this for a while.

Before we entered the harbor, passing along the Brighton Beach, we were taking 4-5ft waves with short period for few minutes, water splashing over the roof, lol. This Parker is an absolute beast.

Yep. We knew it could get wet and rough so we were just around the corner from NY harbor. Didn't time it quite right, though, lol.

This was our last trip, this Saturday. Started the day with beautiful weather Which quickly turned to crap before we even hit the fishing grounds - we were targeting Rockaway Reef, south of LI, today The seas turned 3-4fters - not fun (we would be running airborne in our other boat, a 24ft...

Yes. For some reason Yamaha service manual does not make it mandatory, but it just seems crazy not to change the oil filter with a oil change. BTW - my 20hr oil looked pretty dark and not pretty, which is normal, and was confirmed by Blackstone analysis I did. But I would not want that oil...

Absolutely. The good news is, there is a wide band in which the F300 harmonizes beautifully with the Parker, and for me the trick is to able to stay there as much as possible.
