Verado 250 outboards

Hi Guys,

Looking at a boat with a fairly new (2013) 250 Verado on the back and was hoping to get advice and opinions from those that have had these motors with any problems etc that they have encountered and is there anything that I should look out for.

Thanks in advance.

Mark

yep, no major issues for me in 400 hrs of use.

Heaps of grunt thanks to the supercharger, fuel economy appears to be the same as a normal 4 stroke if kept under 4500 rpm, after that I think they use a bit more than a nat asp. 4 stroke.

Verado may not be the No. 1 choice if buying a new motor, but certainly would not stop me buying a goood boat if one was on the back.

I do all the services myself, easy.
