I have not heard anything bad other than I think you have to run 93 octane in them.

ran our new Triton 35 with the trips once and loved em, but not to much experiance with em yet.

You can run 89oct.
They are the good engines, very fast and very thirsty. Maybe Admin or Striper 101 will chime in, they both run triples.

THANKS FOR THE INFO SO FAR. THE DEALER STATES THAT I SHOULD GET ABOUT 2 MILES TO THE GALLON AT 4500 RPMS, THE MOTORS THAT I HAVE NOW ARE 1992 YAHAMA 250'S CARBERATED. ONLT 3/4 MILE TO THE GALLON. "THATS THIRSTY" @ A NORMAL SPEED (APPROX 20-25MPH) WITH A THIRTY FT PROLINE WALK AROUND, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK THESE NEW MOTORS SHOULD GET? I WANTED THE 275'S BUT THE MAX HP RATED IS 500HP.

i have trip 275s
we have had a few electrical and rigging problems which is no suprise
but all in all these moters always seem to run and get you home
they are super quite and the fly by wire is awsome
they do like gas we get about 1.2 maybee 1.3 at cruse
and just to let you know the do run fine on 89 octane
