flatsfisher772 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Looking at some older pathfinder 2200’s (2004-2010). Most have either a 4 stroke 150 or 200 HDPI (both Yamaha). Any reasons to pick one over the other? Pros/cons/major issues for either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamaskeet Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 The HPDI are good engines, if you feed it clean fuel. They will not tolerate old, dirty or water in the fuel. The F150 is probably Yamaha’s best engine. They run great and are a little strong for their hp rating. There are many opinions regarding longevity. My two cents is the HPDI is a 2000 hour engine and the F150 is a 4000 hour engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 Love my 03 150 Vmax HPDI. Close to 800 hrs and never had a issue. They say it is bulletproof and I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatsfisher772 Posted January 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Im concerned with a t-top and loaded down boat, the 150 will struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrchandler Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I have a 2200 TE with the 200 HPDI. I would not want anything smaller. With all of the livewell capacity of the tournament, I wouldn’t want a 4 cylinder on it. Maybe on a non tournament or if you never use the live wells or carry passengers. Also, some people don’t care how long it takes to plane or how fast it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned a F150 on my 2005 PF22...no T top and it ran great...top end 42-44 light load with a 4 blade. Easy to do DIY maint. Just be aware there is a "serious" 500-600 hr maintenance recommended that is about $600-700 (several years ago)...if I remember, it was the time belt. I would seriously consider it depending on a mechanical review dc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
