Wasn't somebody doing a side by side test of these engines on identical boats a few months ago?
Anyone know the results...........?

Next month's RIB International compares Suzuki 250(4s) Verado 250(4s) Yamaha 250(4s) and E-Tes 250(2s).

did tests on 250's on the back of Ballistic 7.8's - riva on here will know the outcome, or as RB says, the results are in rib int mag...

Have heard down the grapevine that the results will be very interesting, and possibly not might be expected.

When is the relevent issue of the magazine out?

[Richard B]

I think it's due to be out at the end of January!

[RIVA]

the test was quite a eye opener

quite good to see the manafactures gages against a calibrated fuel flow gauge .( the same one on each boat )

if i did not need a engine urgent i would wait

some engines were far better in the high rev ranges

and others remarkable at medium reves

it will make a buying decision a bit easyier.you just need to decide if your a mid ranger or a full throtle guy

I'm lost!
So has this test been carried out, or not?? And if yes, by whom?!
I'm very close to getting an Opti 225 for my new 7.20m....

Hey, that 2250 Pti must be the D's B's! What ever it is?

[Rodan]

There may be a problem with merc 225 Optis - I keep on having to put fuel in it to keep it going.

[RIVA]

yes its been done , but no optimax was tested , only the manafactures 250hp flag ship engines were tested
