Re: Yamaha 225 4 stroke v's Bombardier Ficth 250.
Go with the Bombardier DI engine. With these new DI engines there is no need for a big bulky 4 stroke. These DI's are cleaner, Lighter, burn less gas and are much cheaper in upkeep than 4 strokes. Ask your local dealer how much it cost to upkeep that 4 stroke. That noise level has to be a missprint but I will look into it. I have driven many Di and 4 strokes. What I have seen is the 4 stroke is quieter at idle and lounder at high rpm with the larger 4 strokes. Even the smaller 4 strokes are very loud at high rpms. This is due to much more moving parts inside the engine. The more things moving the louder it is. THe more moving parts, the more there is to break and cost to repair is way up there. Plus if you buy a Evinrude before April 15th you get 7 years of warry. IF you have any questions about Evinrude DI or Johnson 4 strokes please ask away.
