DF300 or DF350

[bahamabeach606]

Ordering a 239 and cannot decide which motor to buy, the difference in price is around 8k, any advice is greatly appreciated.

I think the 239 is rated for 350 but I doubt 50 h.p. will make much difference on a deep V hull.. (maybe 5 or 6 mph). Considering the $8K difference in price, and that the 350 adds close to an extra 100 lbs and has dual props, I'd compare the stats on both then buy the 300. but that's just me.

Thank you for your advice.

I think you'll be fine with the 300, 8K can buy a lot of gas and other stuff.

That is a tough call. The 350 is really new, and I don't think there is enough info to know if it's a true winner yet. If it is, it would be great to have. Initial feedback has been positive. I found this on THT. The contender is a deeper v and has a little more drag. www.thehulltruth.com/outboard-specialties-world-s-largest-suzuki-re-power-dealer/921341-25-contender-repower-350-suzuki-outboard-specialties.html I don't find many days I can go 55 mph, but it would be hard not to smile when you can. I think I'd go 350, just for the reported insane tracking of the duoprop, but the safest bet is the 300. Post up what you end up deciding and definitely pics of the boat when you get her!

I'm sure your happy with either the 300 which is an awesome motor,  or the 350, which is what I have on my 239. I find the control of the dual prop from trolling to top end to be amazing. Good luck with your 239.
