Evinrude 250 ETEC on Puma

I would ask the guys in Mtn Home about it. They ran one at the dealers meeting. Corky I also saw your other post. I would buy whatever motor your mechanic wants to deal with. It largely comes down to that. You can go on and on about this motor or that one but it all comes down to what you can get fixed the fastest in your neck of the woods. To me its a question of dealer issues first, prices issues second, then warranty issues, fuel economy, etc. The speed thing you can argue all day long. I happen to own an 200 ho evinrude with 275 hours and zero issues but I also am fortunate to have 2 top notch dealers that can handle either product. With 5 years of built in warranty thanks to BCB and dealers picking it up you have to add that price to the blue product(unfortunately) as well to compare them equally.Last edited by clownshoes on September 8th, 2008, 12:59 pm, edited 1 time in total.C.O.D.

Call Tommy Yetts @ Rockwall Marine 972-771-4442, he has ran the 250HO on his rig and has a prostaffer with one on theirs too. He is partial to the Etec and his guys have certifications to work on them all so he can run any of them but his choice is the Etec. So if you arent wanting an Etec then dont call him I think they are all building pretty good motors at this point you just have to pick one your local dealer can work on and what you prefer to run. I prefer the Merc but ran a Yamaha on my 06 and it and the 03 HPDI prior to it were both good motors. They can all throw a bad one but I think all and all they are making some good engines.
