I love my BF250. I would put it up against any 2stroke going, its much quieter, burns less fuel and the get-up-and-go is awesome. The down side is the weight (just like any 4stroke) hanging on the transom. I went with the big bracket so I could pick any motor that I wanted, and wasn't limited by weight. This summer I am planning on doing a side by side comparison, between an Etec 250 on a Scepter and my CC/BF250.
The older 225's are a little different than this new 250, the intake systems are different and I am not sure if they had the Vtec setup or not. Down low, at a troll, (under 1500rpm) it dosnt burn ANYTHING for fuel.
This year I want to try planing with a 4 blade prop also and see how that changes things.
