Someone will be along soon with the info you are looking for. I am a firm believer that going too big on motor (within rated HP) is far better than going too small. It is easy to try to save a few $$$ when buying but then a Bad taste can linger a long time. I would probably go with a 250HP but would not go less than 225HP. Just my 2 cents.Dan

Im thinking the 200 will push the Eyra close to 70 mph at WOT. So just think if you dont want to run over 70, the 250 dont even have to work to run 70 on the Eyra. In that case I would think the 250 would get better mpgs than the 200. 200 at WOT vs the 250 at only about 5200 rpm. Plus it should resale better with 250. Just my thoughts

Mine runs 75 all day with a 250 ProXS. Guys who have more seat time and experience are getting low 80s out of them. Ive only owned it for a couple months now, so havent tried to push it up to that range. I would think one with a 200 would be more comparable to what I was seeing in my old PIV with a 200, which was top end of high 60s. Two things that surprised me the most about the Eyra, was the mid range acceleration from 45 to 70 and how well it performs in rough water. No way Id own one with anything but a 250 after experiencing it first hand.

Ive had an eyra with 200 and 250. The 200 would push the eyra 70 mph loaded and 72 mph light load. I enjoyed the 200 on the eyra.

I dont imagine the fuel consumption would be that much different from a 200, 225, or 250 to even worry about. As someone said above…they are all outboards…they drink fuel! If youre going to spend big bucks on a boat with a big motor…Id think fuel mileage wouldnt even matter. It doesnt to me, but then I dont fish lakes where I have to run 30 miles one way to fish either.
