I have gotten past the 2 hour break in period and cant believe how stable this boat is. It does not lean with 3 people standing on the same side. The room in the boat is also one of the first things I noticed. With the Blazer we always felt like we did not have room to move. The beam on the Robalo makes all the difference in the world. Have not had a chance to see what it rides like in rough water but did do 5 circles and cut through the middle and it was not the pounding action I'm used to.
Yamaha's break in period called for 1 hour at idle the one hour under 2,000 RPM. Then the next 8 hours to not hold at max RPM for more than 5 seconds. I got it up to max RPM and saw 48mph and she was still climbing when I pulled back. This boat will not be anywhere as fast as the Blazer but what I give up in speed will be made up for with the comfort of the boat.

Very nice boat!

According to the F300 manual is says to not run it full throttle for more than 5 minutes, not 5 seconds during this 8 hour period. I believe it's on page 52 in the manual. I would suggest running it up to the 5 minute mark at full throttle a few times during this phase of the break-in, or it stands a chance of making oil.
