I'm considering repowering my 1984 Mako 258 Cuddy with a single suzuki 4 stroke 250. Looking for a used motor somewhere around the 2005-2007 year( Cant afford a new). Presently have a 1997 yamaha ox66 250 2 stroke with 800 hours.

Personally, I would stay away from those years on the DF's. Too many issues with corrosion in the water jacket causing lots of problems. The metal they used in the casting is very weak. Mine cracked after only 120 hours with no over-heating or over-revving.
 
You having problems with the Yam?
800 hrs. isn't excessive.

Larry, when the jacket cracked did it leak or water get into the cylinders or what happened? Thanks, J
