Hi, I am looking for some opinions. I am looking at a ZX300TXRC VMax engine on e-bay. It is a supposedly mostly fresh-water engine with about 230 hours, of which 50% are less than 2000 rpms. My plan is to put this engine on a 2001 Boston Whaler 210 Ventura. (The boat is about 3500 lbs dry with a 100-gallon fuel tank.) I am not after high speed, just a lot of torque and reliability. So my main question is this -- do these engines have a reputation for reliability? I have had numerous Yamaha outboards before, but they were all carbureted. In fact, I just sold my last Whaler with twin 200HP 1989 Yamahas that run so sweet I almost hated to let the boat go. So this is my first foray into the HPDI world. Bottom line -- if used sensibly and taken care of, can I expect a fairly long and trouble-free life with this engine? Thanks in advance. ---WhalerAce
