Re: Yamaha 225 4 stroke v's Bombardier Ficth 250.
Plus the Yamaha HPDI only has a 50 amp charging vrs the dual voltage 60 amp charging on the Evinrude. THe Yamaha weight is 570 for the HPDI and 605 for the 4 stroke vrs 532 for the Evinrude. The evinrudes warry is non declining where the Yam is a declining warry.

Re: Yamaha 225 4 stroke v's Bombardier Ficth 250.
For what it is worth, I repowered with a ficht 225 last fall and have about 40 hrs on it. It is a great engine. My mechanic told me, recently, long after I paid the tab, that about 4800 fichts had been sold in Bonbardier's reign and only 3 have come back, for problems due to installation.
They are making a great engine, but, I have to admit, I don't think I'll see 3,000 hours outta it either. By then I will have ripped it off and bolted on the latest trend anyhow. My two cents is paid! Feel free to E-Mail me at ggibbons@attbi.com if you want any more info! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] -Hooper

Re: Yamaha 225 4 stroke v's Bombardier Ficth 250.
The non declining warry covers everytrhing during the warry period.Yamaha gives a two year warry on the hpdi's but thats just the power head and gearcase. Electrical, rubber compontents and cowlings are only one year. Yamaha 4 strokes offer a three year warry but thats just the power head and gearcase, everything else is just one year. IT is a aftermarket 4 year coverage but its just as good as the oem warry. There is a 25.00 dect. for a visit to the shop.

Re: Yamaha 225 4 stroke v's Bombardier Ficth 250.
Man back in 1994 you got 1 year...from everyone but Suzuki I believe. If you made the 1 year you were pretty much golden for the next 1000 hours+ Today everyone wants warranty. The rudes are the best in my opinion and would be where I would go.....after I ruled out twin 115-140 Zuki 4 strokes for not much more in price.

Re: Yamaha 225 4 stroke v's Bombardier Ficth 250.
I had a 23 Sceptre w/twin 150 mercs when Rude came out with the first V-8's my dealer buddy got a deal on one [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] what a difference NEVER put twins on the trimmed and responed so much better. These new motors are far superior but that boat handled like a 20' with that low end power and didn't get bogged down in big follwing sea's if the money is similar these are heavy boats that low end power may help. I had it jacked 4" above the transom and used a long blade raker prop,boat ran a 55 mph speedo around to the 0 peg [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Sweet Ride.It was rigged by American Marine in Tarpon Springs he had a couple sf23's,by the way he has 2-225's he got deal on somewhere you might e mail gorpm@hotmail.com -Mike he can answer all lot of questions that have been discussed here also.Good Luck
