FWIW the 200 HPDI is one of Yamaha's best engines, the HPDI problems were on the big block motors and the values on boats with 250 or 300 HPDI's reflect that the reality is any boat with a 2 stroke by any manufacturer will be selling for less then one with a 4 stroke, it's what the buying public wants. The 200 and 150 small blocks are very good motors but they are very fuel sensitive and require clean fuel and frequent filter changes. The ETEC is also a very good choice but you will need to replace all your rigging, possibly staying with Yamaha some of your current rigging can transfer over.
