2320 sl with 300 yammie

[juniorg]

Does anyone have a 2320 pilothouse with a 300 yammie? I just ordered my boat and upgraded to the 300. But the boat won't be ready till feb. And I was wondering the performance of it since there aren't any performance write ups. Thanks

Have the same boat..2013. No real data yet..just learning the waters, and how to fish and be safe. But, I will say that the 300 is strong, runs quiet and smooth, appears to be ok on fuel consumption. I should have kept some data and I will next season. Let me know how you find it. You can see photo of my boat on the Post a Photo section on Dec 31' 2012.
Good luck!

WOW !!! 300 Hp. I have a 2320 parker also with 200 HPDI and was thinking to repower with Yamaha 250. I called parker and they told me to call armstrong and they told me 250 4stroke was the largest motor i can put on that boat.

Hey rumrunner that's a beautiful rigg u have. Do you have anymore pics? I only saw the one of the side profile. Yea the 2320 can handle max 300 Hp they actually weigh the same as the 250s what year is your boat Marty d?

2005 2320 with full transom. That's what i told them. The 300 hp was --10 lb. more ?

Juniorg and Marty D. I will try to post a few more pics. As far as the 2320 and the 300 goes, they just upped the HP max last year on the 2320. I was a little skeptical as Parker info said 250 max. So I spoke with Robin Parker and they confirmed the 300 was ok in 2013. Has to do with the transom size getting a bit larger to accommodate the larger engine.

Meant to say bracket size not transom size.

Meant to say bracket size not transom size.

That's to provide more flotation and disperse the load to a larger area.
