Yamaha 150 is not a V4, its an inline 4.
My mistake in words thanks for clarifying 👍🏼
What's the difference?
@@LifeByTheBow the old 2 stroke 115 130 was a V4 though.

@@g2grant525 v4s are not as balanced as an i4. Only modern example of them are f1 racing engines
Freshwater lakes guy here but I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned from this channel. It’s helped me a great deal. Thanks
Another awesome video. Questions: What do you do with your boat(s) when the weather gets bad? You can't keep those at your dock, can you? You must be storing the bay boat somewhere else anyway, right? Finally, a suggestion: Could you do a video on bait -- I know you've touched on it a few times, but I'd like an episode on different baits, different methods of catching bait, types of nets, throwing the net, etc - kind of a "bait 101" video. Thanks again for the great content.
You knocked it out of the park with this one Clay! There are so many valid and critical points you make well that will serve new and even tenured old salts like me well.... I recommend folks save this video as a reference to refer to. My family and I are absolutely hooked on your ( you and Stephanie’s) channel and this outstanding video shows why... you are way more than an amazingly entertaining channel.... you share very solid boating and fishing information. I grew up in Miami and am retired on the beach in Oregon and yes.... I am addicted to boats. I always need a deep V hull with twin engines to run out for albacore in often stout seas... hence your logic! Stellar segment... thanks Clay! 👍
This is what I’m talking about Clay…. Your balance between all categories is phenomenal! Love all the info you provide in each different video. Keeps it refreshing, fun, and educational… well done Sir well done!
...another well produced, filmed and written video, thank you.
That water at 45 seconds into the video is absolutely gorgeous!
Outboard motors are very Relyable these days. One engine has worked fine for me for 20+ years. The simplicity is great! I don’t venture out in seas more then two feet and I’m not running to The Bahamas etc. I run a 24’ Aquasport to and past the reef to 800’ of water all the time. Watch the weather and have all safety gear ready to go first. Maintence is the key and running that motor regularly is another huge factor. Motors that sit have problems and it doesn’t matter how many are on the back of any given boat it’s all relative. utilizing marine fuel is also critical as regular gas collects water causes expansion and causes issue all along the way no matter how many motors one may have. Great Video as always!
I love the twin or triple engines because I want to go offshore
Love your channel. Excellent content and advice with exceptional production. Your enthusiasm and attention to detail is apparent in every video. The Keys are breathtaking! You and your wife are the perfect ambassadors. 😍🏝
Thank you Sylvia! We really appreciate it the nice comment. We love the keys! We try and capture its beauty through our videos.👍👍
Love the channel I’m in marathon and we got into some mahi and tuna today
Love your videos. Am a subscriber. Always helpful. As a boater myself one comment on porpoising. Yes more weight in back vs front can cause it. Also the combination of speed and engine trim can cause this.
Great information guys! Keep up the awesome videos!
Great video.. I've enjoyed it.. well done and congrats on your channel.
Here in marathon as this videos exists. I have a wife and family. 20 ft robalo r200 but we have had our tail kicked this week as far as fishing or sand bar because the wind has been blowing out of the south. Love your channel wish I could learn more so next year we will be prepared
Thanks for the info. I'll have a boat soon and this really helps.
Second video I clicked in a row of yours… well done sir… subscriber earned!
Thanks for all the info we are moving to Tampa my next step is buy a boat and this video answer a lot of my questions 😃😃😃😃😃
Lots of practical information for potential outboard purchasers.
Was out last week out of P'cola (10 miles out in 2-4 ftrs and my buddy sucked 100yds of braid in the prop. Got the line out, shut that motor down (proactive in case the seal was compromised)and preceeded to fish and limp home on 1 motor. 2 motors are definitely nice to have.
Thanks again for great video Clay
I love all of the content that you guys put out and in the future, i would love to own a boat and go out fishing with my friends
You hit on it right away. If you do regular maintenance on your engine, I would bet the single greatest cause of breakdowns is fuel contamination/clogged filters. If your boat (most) only has one fuel tank, two engines isn't going to make much diiference. No surprise that if you think the hybrid bay boats (something I'm taking a hard look at for my first FL boat) are the answer to most boating purposes, then your single engine solution also makes sense. Up in the northern lakes single engines are the rule, but out idea of going offshore is a lot different unless your on the great lakes. Thanks for the videos.
Cool video hopefully it clears up out there soon
Love your videos man, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us noobs. Hopefully one day i can put it to use with a boat of my own.
Thank you for this wonderful channel.
Love my twin 115 Yamaha's...makes docking easier and when going offshore a good insurance policy even though I have boat U.S. towing policy. That said if you have a fuel issue probably both engines will go down hence the towing policy which is cheap if you need it but so far haven't needed it. Twins make going to Bahamas less stressful!
Super nice Pathfinder!
Twins are nice for docking at times as well
Love the video y'all becareful down there and stay safe
Hey Man, love the channel, the boats and the family!!! not in that particular order though!!! keep up the good work!!!
Getting really good at the editing man- very well done
1/2" matters "that's what she said "
I run a 3 stage fuel filter system, it works good to catch water. Plus portable reserve
Your videos look unreal. The quality is next level. How do you not have 10 million subs. Love your channel
For a long time I thought single 300HP was enough for my 30 ft CC until I rode on my friends 30ft boat that had two 300 HP Yamaha motors and I was changed forever! I have never regretted it since.
I think you can also add in that once you get to a certain size boat you NEED multiple engines for performance wise and i think that threshold is 25ft anything bigger needs atleast 2 and then of course 35 and up u get into triples and quads
Educational episode. You are so correct. When will you be doing a segment on inshore , nearshore tackle ?
Got my 234 Sea Hunt Ultra with single 200 yesterday. Hope I dont regret not getting two.
I love those tidewater boats!
Great video!
I appreciate your videos and after watching I recently purchased a 2021 Pathfinder 2500 and love it.. the 2300 HPS was awesome boat but didn’t fit my family’s need. Recently visited the keys for the first time and stayed in Marathon and loved it..We are going to bring our boat from Louisiana on next visit and was wondering what large sandbar is that in the video? We rented pontoon last visit and found one on the East side of Marathon but wasn’t that large. Thanks for your videos!
Right on! Good info!
Very good information here!! Good to know. Thanks!
Good stuff buddy
Excellent advise.
Clay you should do a video on what gps/fish finder you recommend. I want to purchase one for my 18 foot boat and there are so many brands out there that I’m not sure which one to buy.
Simrad nss evo3, they are awesome
Love the content, was wondering if you could give a few choices of where to stay in Largo with a slip (18ft bay boat). (Affordable hotel / efficiency). We usually stay in Marathon and blow a ton of money for the week / thanks for any advice ….Joe 🤙🏼
Very informative, thank you!!
Love the videos! Are you coming to homosassa/crystal river again this year for scallop season??
Hey Clay, can the outboard stay on the boat when exchanging oil and filter. One more , is you store a boat, will the storage company provide oil and filter maintenance?
A good tow boat policy is cheaper than a 2nd motor.
This. $150 a year with trailer coverage. Spot on.
Helped alot thanks!
Separate fuel tanks....Good points on draft, resale and twin engine docking for larger boats.
Great point!
Clay love your Channel. With that said, I have a 2008 20’ cc glass master triton powered with a 2004 Honda 4 stroke 200, with no trim tabs, I’m planning on adding electric trim tabs to improve performance and so I can plain faster. Now my question is that eventually I know that I want to repower her but I’m not sure if to go with two150 Suzuki’s or one 300 Suzuki. Would like to get more horsepower for increased Speed. My 200 Honda has been GPS at 45 mph. Torn between what would be best for performance on this boat. What would you suggest?
Good information!
Great Info I subscribed. I'm still undecided on my particular situation. I live in Eastern Maryland and I will be fishing the Chesapeake and also offshore Ocean City. The boat I'm looking at for my family is a 23 steiger craft pilot House. I'm looking at either a single 300 or twin 150 Suzuki and also looking at possibly the lighter weight Suzuki 140s? If you would choose twin for this situation what would your choice be between twin 140s and twin 150 Suzuki's? Thank you for any advice you have for me
We want fabulous weather be down in 2 weeks. Woo
The boat I want (for fishing _or_ fun) would need twins. At the small end, a TwinVee 240CC or 240DC with 150's, at the larger end (major dream time) a HammerCat 45 with a pair of the new 600's on the stern.
What's up Clay, do you have videos when you bought your boats?
love the vids
Thanks for the advice 🇹🇹🇹🇹
Thanks good info 👍 question would u do a bimini crossing on a single engine
After flying over 40 years in the military and commercial sectors, I can easily answer this question: the more, the better! Fortunately, I only flew single engine aircraft for a couple years, but I ALWAYS felt safer when flying aircraft that had at least 2 engines. Same goes for boats: the more, the better. I'd rather buy a used, well-maintained twin-engine boat I could afford, than a brand new boat with only one engine. Yes, bad gas is always a consideration, but that's a low percentage potential problem. And now being a bit older, I think the multiple engine boat is even more of a no-brainer. Combine that with MUCH easier docking and we've got a winner. Thanks for another amazing, informative video. (P.S. How do you not have over at least 100K, if not, 500K subscribers?)
What do you think of the yamaha boats? 210 fsh sport specifically. Twin jets and affordable. Offshore?
I didn't put much thought into this until I got a twin engine boat, but a lot of twin engine boats can't plane on one engine because they just lost half of their horsepower, so they will get you home, but it is freaking slow. If a triple engine boat loses an engine, then it's only lost 1/3 of its power, so it will still get on plane and get you home a lot quicker.
Probably still faster and cheaper than seatow though, just a guess...
@@staceyweston9694 oh totally, still way better off than a single engine!
Quick question do you use a descending device if so which one do you use
I suppose it depend where you live..... South Africa law, you have to have minimum 2 motors fitted going on sea with deep sea fishing boats ( of course usually launch of the beach)
Any tips on if you lose a motor to help counteract that yaw effect? I lost a motor once and i had to crank the wheel so hard to the left to keep boat semi straight i thought i was going to break it
Thoughts on Tidewater boats?
The two stroke Yami’s were V6. I had one. The 4 stroke 250’s are Inline 4’s
No the 4 stroke 250 and 300 are V6 4.2L
You probably meant the 4-stroke 150 & 200's are inclined 4's.
🔥🔥🔥
Can anyone tell me why on the 39 there is one motor with a 4 blade prop and 2 with a 3 blade, just curious
Only about a 5,000$ difference 😂😂 my boat is literally 5,000$. Awesome video guys
lmao it be like that
To some people 5k is nothing
Money matters to some of us.
Hello, I am buying new boat, I am gonna go with 300HP outboard Only I am debating about which one I should choose Yamaha or Suzuki ? Any advice?
That’s a bigs question but if it were me I’d go with Yahamas.
I know this is an old video, but I like a single engine with a small backup engine to get home/troll that has a separate fuel supply
Not bad idea! Thanks for watching!
Some countries have very specific limitations of how far you may go offshore with a single motor, and for good reason. Personally, I wouldn't dream of going more than a few miles offshore on a single installation.
I will spend my life savings on airplanes. But when I look at boat owners I say - why would they spend that much money?... Great video. Thanks
Only go multi engine if you need the HP
Turnquest could rig them.
Bro what to do you for a living lol. I just found your channel and you live the perfect life. You're an inspiration to keep grinding and buying more crypto lol
I want to start my charter fishing any advice pls
I don't charter but if I did, I'd recommend going into a marina with high foot traffic.
If your going to spend that many buckets of money your better off going with a super ponga with twin surface drives 😀 Also porpasing has to to do with hull speed Basicly you have to much power. The fix get a longer boat😃
Anyone/everyone’s comments on Dual Consoles??? Thanks
I think you can get a Yamaha v8 300
👍👍👍👍👍
I’m aware Diesel is a little bit more then gas, but anything diesel with outlast anything gas. No reason why a boat “ bust out another thousand” are so expensive.
The rigging setup cost on twin motors vs. a single motor is a lot more.
Of course.
Unless a bay or hybrid boat and the boat is made for twins or a big single, twins all day everyday. I’d never go back.
I like the way you think! Thanks for watching!
You need to clean the bottom on the bay boat on off hull cleaner works great
Is it me or does he look like a Sims character, (the way the lighting is in the room)? 😆🤣😂😹 .........js.
I got four motors but she doesn’t run
Thanks for watching Hayden 👍🏼
Hey bud I love your show but I recommend you changing your intro music. It is like noise to me and it is kind of loud.
Gotcha 👍🏼
One is None, Two is One...
Only a 5 thousand dollar difference, my whole damn boat cost 5 thousand.
Go two or go home !!!
How ever am I to get home if I don't have that 2nd engine?🤔😆
Haha...its ooonnnly a 5000 $$ difference. That is so laughable. EH, it's only money...right?!
