kracker, don't know a lot about them (hpdi), but from what i've read and heard, the larger ones were more of an issue.

never heard a lot on the 150's

that seems like a good price. i would definitely use the oem oil.

is it a 25"?

Kracker,
If you get the HPDI have the injectors pulled and cleaned/flow tested every 5 years. One lean injector then it's BANG

Keep the fuel clean and the HPDI is a great engine.

I have to agree with Phat that a late model carb Yamaha would be the most reliable choice.

I have researched these motors for the past 2 days. And i hear nothing but great things about the smaller block 150's. As was stated the bigger blocks had the issues. The guy is having the entire fuel system gone thru and all fuel and vst filters replace and injectors done and new water pump. It is a 25" shaft so i will be building my transom up for now. And doung a solid transom probally after the fall. Motor comes with all gauges,harneses,oil tank and controls for 3500.00. Its a 2004 with 390 hours on it.

Pipedream runs a HPDI I believe, I'd be interested in hearing Spareparts opinion as well.

I work on few HPDI's. Like whats been previously said, the bigger engines(250-300) were the ones that give issues. The smaller ones seem to hold up well. But keep in mind, they are exspensive to run. Plugs are $$$ just like any DFI, the $300 high pressure fuel filter is now down to $90 and Yamaha DFI oil is expensive. Savings in fuel get eaten up by oil cost. I think they only offer the 150 HPDI now for the bass boat market. You don't see that many around any more. If you have high pressure fuel pump issues, its big money to have it rebuilt, even bigger to have it replaced, like over $2000 for some models. Like most new engines, they are intolerant of crappy fuel, but HPDIs are even more so. You don't see many getting rebuilt due to the preventative expenses to insure they stay together. Good motors, but its a gamble with high stakes

For 1500 it's a good price. Just run some clean oil. That 2m is very dirty and will cause carbon build up on a DI engine.
