Merc 250 Xs Info Needed

Anybody Have The New 25o Xs Motors That Run On 87 Or 89 Octane ?

Can You Tell Me Any Good Or Bad News On Them .
How They Run At Idail And At Cruise Speed Do They Fouls Plug's Often At Low Speed " No Wake" ?
And Of Course Top End Speeds .
How Much Fuel They Burn On Average .

Thank's For Your Help

I had one on a 22 Velocity CC. It was a great motor, good on fuel and had great manners, it was no problem at low speeds. The new owner of the boat changed the motor to a 250 E-tec and picked up about 4 mph though. The boat ran 62/63 mph with the Merc. We were really amazed at the performance of the Evinrude over the Mercury. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Andy

Speed and fuel burn all depend on the boat you put them on. There is a boat with twin 250xs Opti's in my neighborhhod it is a 30' center console and it runs 80.

I have a set of 250xs on my 36 concept. They are awesome motors. I top out at 64mph.

EXCELLENT fuel economy
