THE NEW YAMAHA
4.3L V6 OFFSHORE F350
At 629 pounds, Yamaha’s new V6 Offshore F350 is a featherweight knockout. Stealing all the best design cues and advanced features from its V6 and V8 siblings, the new F350 is the dawn of a new power platform. It’s also the lightest F350 in its class—by more than 65 pounds. Pair it with Helm Master® EX and Siren 3
Pro for exhilarating boating and incredible control in a powerfully light design. THE ALL-NEW YAMAHA 4.3L V6 OFFSHORE F350.
