Guys looking into buying a used 2005 Yamaha VZ225 TLRD HPDI, serial number 60Y-L-1001830. The motor is on a Champion 21 SX. Motor has been serviced by C & O Marine in White Bluff, Tennessee. Have checked service documents on motor and it has 29 hours on it. The man who bought it just did not go out in it, apparently.
Are there any drawbacks to this motor? Anything that I should be looking for? I have read gas mileage may not be the greatest, but I am used to that with my current boat with a 175 Fast Stike. How about longevity of the HPDI. Really guys, I just don't want to make a mistake. The engine looks exactly like a 25 hour engine (Brand New). Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
