Re: Who makes a better outboard?
I'm seriously looking into the new Bombardier Evinrude, Like BB said Bombardier has rectified there motors blowing up like they were a few years back with OMC.I was told that there hole shot is much quicker than the Four strokes , for me thats crucial because at times I need a quick hole shot because of the shallow water. I also like the Yamahas they are a sweet looking motor, but service is another reason that you should be concerned with in your decision.My neighbor is an Evinrude mechanic thats also a reason for me going with Evinrude.The price tag is whats scarry 14,800.00 for a 250 Ficth.

Re: Who makes a better outboard?
Go with a Evinrude DI engine. THey have the problems worked out of these engines. The old company was more worried about who do we borrow money from next to stay going then how do we fix these engines. Bombardier has these figured out and there warry. proves it.

Re: Who makes a better outboard?
Joe, I found out today that of the 7 year warranty first 3 are from factory and the other 4 are after market warranty. Ive heard that warranty is not as good as factory? What do you think? If I get the Bombardier do you think its better to get the 17500.00 rebate or the 4 extra years of warranty.RS.

Re: Who makes a better outboard?
The warry is a aftermarket but it still covers it as good as the factory warry. There is a 25.00 dect. for every visit. I read a story in trailer boat mag. that states its best to take the money. I would take warry over the money if you can.

Re: Who makes a better outboard?
Reel,
I know if a guy who just picked up a brand new 225 Ficht for $12,500 up here in Miami or Ft Lauderdale some place. I will have to see where he got it from and let you know. $14,800 seems a bit high unless you are getting all the controls and rigging in that price........ On another note, I have decided on a motor and really want everyones opinion here before I go sign on the dotted line..... I have decide to go with the 250 EFI Merc but still have the choice of going with the 225 Opti so, tell me guys........I have heard so much negative news about the Opti I was going to stay with the EFI. I am a diehard Yamaha fan and really like the Ficht but I was going to try out the Merc for a change. Figured if you take care of them, they will all really wind up being just as good as the other at this point in time... Opinions???? John

Re: Who makes a better outboard?
John, I know it does sound high, if you can find out where he bought it at I know theirs a place in Lauderdale that used to sell Evinrudes back in the OMC days at reasonable prices, but I can remember their name.As far as Merc its a matter of opinion I work with guys that would not own anything but a Merc. I Heard a while back that they were having problems with the Optis but dont know if they've been corrected.RS.
