Pipe, from what I understand, the 200 HPDI's are very reliable and touted as the motor to have. Shouldn't be any worries there.
I wouldnt over look a 250 or a 300 HPDI though... granted they have had problems, but most of that has been resolved and the motor's are good,,, Yama is standing behind them.
I'd definately get or have thrown in by the dealer an extended warranty and ensure the service bulletins were done and in writing.
I'm happy with mine, runs really nice and strong, pretty good on fuel too.

...
Those HPDIs do push those big Grady's I drive one 4-5 times a month for a very rich man..lol It is a 33 express, it will jump up and do about 37 mph...but at 37 mph it is using 55 gallons an hour $3.00 per gallon times 55 gallons per hour + $165.00 per hour to operate plus he has to pay me....it costs him right at $200.00 dollars an hour to operate that boat....not my cup of tea thats for sure
