i still like the oldschool 2strokes the engine i like the best is the 1970-1980 mercurys they r cold blooded as hell but the smell when they fire up omg nothing can replace that smell i love it idk y but its just the best part of goin to the lake

Lol. I'm a Mercury guy but this was a pretty funny commercial. Good job Yammy.

I have a 2 stroke 150 pro v on my 88 stratos. Tends to flood very easy and has a lot of trouble going into gear but once you get her going she's a beauty

Have a 175 Yamaha 2 stroke great engine I really like it

The Bang Bros Award for acting should go to these folks.

Give me one right NOW!!! Always love Yamaha Now I love them Even More!!!

I like the Bass Pro Shops logo on that Skeeter, lol looks better on a skeeter than a Nitro anyways.

torque tab built in the skeg , now thats nice.

That sure looks cooler than a Verado

kickass!

I love how people are downing Yamaha and screaming go Mercury. I mean I love Mercury, in my opinion there is no better outboards made, but Yamaha and mercury partnered to produce their lineups of 4-strokes and they are both incredibly similar. If you like one, you'll likely enjoy the other.

After that video I'm buying a Mercury.

etec 250 ho and the opti pro xs 250 are also bigger engines than a regular 250. It's the sticker. but putting the sho against the etec 250 and the opti 250 will be more comparable.

@aladat Is 250 h.p. from a 4.2 liter impressive in boats or something?

Bad acting and bad music. Shut up and let the motor speak for itself.

what kind of boat is thaT??

Did they even break it in

A lot of merc lover in here... if u want quality yamaha is the way to go.. Almost all coast guards have Yamaha engines around my neck of the woods...

Would rather one of these over an E-Tec any day of the week, unless you wanna spend more time in the shop & less time on the water that is! ;)

What's up with the stormtrooper mask?

shit that looks fun!

@kaymanclark because 75mph on the water in 40 degree weather isnt refreshing

the Evinrude e-tec h.o 250 still beets the 4 stroke high output motors.

Legendary Yamaha the most reliable outboards ever

@nitrocdx24 look up sterling bass boats. that is a big deck. check ur pms im gonna send you a video

Is Dave acting?

you can buy those at bass pro shops, there so no bugs and stuff hit you in the face LMFAO

@rama6maiden 2010 skeeter FX21

Love yamaha

lol. Yamaha for life

i got an SHO...cant hear it anyway....lol

why was he wearing a "Save Phace" paintball mask?

funny how even in 2018 they are still trying to make a 4 stroke act and perform like a 2 stroke i guess that sees something about 2 strokes

think about it 25 years ago in america a lot of boat motor manufacturers started to make 4 stroke boat motors because of one reason and that is because it was the cheapest way to make a motor that would meet the epa standard and for no other reason and today with the new fuel injected 2 strokes there is no reason for there to even be a 4 stroke boat motor other than the fact that boat motor makers are making a living on servicing those much more expensive 4 strokes over the life of owning it

@nitrocdx24 they are great fishing boats yes. but not nearly the best. nitros decks arent bigger than anyone elses. and yes some rangers cant top 70. but i personnally have been on an 18 foot ranger with a 175 vmax at 74. hard to top that for an 18 footer. personnally i believe skeeters are the best all around, of course bass cats and phoneix and legends are good too they just arent available around here in ky.

all yall who are pushin yammies and rudes have obviously never run a good ol' mercury optimax!

its okay this motor but i much perfer Mercury or Evinrude i have noticed the evinrudes are faster though

What you came to see 5:00

@nitrocdx24 and i just looked it up. both the pro xs and the sho weigh 505lbs. same weight. the sho is more powerful, more acceleration, more top end, since its a 4 stroke more reliable, and better fuel milage too.

I've seen a lot more e-tecs blown up than Mercury or Yamahas.

@nitrocdx24 nitros are the slowest boats on the water dude.

@nitrocdx24 dude its common sense that mercurys arent as reliable as a yamaha. and yess before the sho came out the mercs were faster and more fuel efficient but now we got the sho's there is nothing that compares.

Mercury best

@nitrocdx24 bullets, allisons, norris craft, strokers, gamblers/"sterlings" are all together with being fast as hell but get blown around alot, not very good fishability. skeeters, phoenix, legend, basscats are all together in the second tier of faster boats. stratos and pro craft are about the same, great fishabillity just not a front tunner in speed. rangers nitros and tritons are the slowers particularly nitros and tritons. nitros hull is weak as hell kvd's is reinforced, custom not standard

e-tecs are OK as long as you can keep them running, ask the pros that have broke down In their tournaments.

they practically castrated the old ones

Carb Two-Smoke for life ..... Yamaha Enduro .... if Somali Pirates can’t kill it I can’t kill it

imovie edit? sound tracks are so generic!

lame scenario to present such a good product !

Lol the guys all sound like they have synthesised voices. Best just to show the engines getting used, how they sound, and what they deliver and get rid of all the rubbish acting. Very nice motor, although a tad too powerful for my 16ft'er! :-)

TEAM MERCURY!!

That take to long to plan

Bullets are not the fastest bass boats allison is the fastest then stroker then bullet. Basscats gamblers and phoenix boats will all out perform a comparable skeeter. Skeeters are great boats but run in the middle of the pack.

@rama6maiden skeeter

If mercury suck y own all records and ain't no yahama ever outran a mercury

So much for a break in period

get ready: 4:52 minutes before engine starts... And sweet jap mechanics stay in the shop while fato tells the other: I don't know what you did but it sounds blbabla.

5:14 that's where you hit dumb and pathetic.. and change video.

If it was brand new they would of had to brake it in

Etec is still the best

@ktmis450sxisthebest best motor out there. love my evinrude, today i just smoked some clown with a 200 hp merc on one of them small race boats....my boat has only 115 hp, mounted it on the last bolt and have a 13 3/4" ballistic prop with 22 inch pitch...damn thing flies!!!

Still ETEC all day

A big engine doesn't go fast unless it hits the water RIGHT? The companies pay geeky IT punks to run the simulators. Those dudes or chicks don't fish unless it's on the Weee. So.., how do you create an algorithm (math) problem to correlate engine sales with catching a single fish at a Tounament? hmm.. If you can figure that one out you leave a zillionaire!. But.. the reality is fisherman need to catch real fish. BUT IS IT ALL A BIG FRIGGIN DRAG RACE! C'mon people.. Anyone read the tortoise and the hare! . Put that on a simulator will ya and see who wins!.. Well.. The point is It doesn't matter how big and powerful your tool is, it only matters if it works when it really counts..

a wish it was a real motor .

Why the stupid music so that we can't hear the motor?

someones never heard of Honda

@nitrocdx24 rangers are faster than tritons. bullets are fastes because for one they are the worst bass boats for actually fishing, the hull sticks outta the water so much they get blown around. next would be gamblers or sterlings which have the same problem. skeeters are the 4th fastest but they actually fish great. then would be phoenix, then stratos, pro craft, ranger, triton, and finally nitro. tritons chinewalk horribly so they cant get to the top end.

try e-tec H.O. smoke that yamaha..

and evinrude wins the race again dont you see it? because is too fast for yamahas

lame vid

Looked slow.

We all know this is a lie

E-tec is way better

comparing a fourstroke to 2-strokes. no compairing????? merc!!!!

gayeee!!!!!

Watching this video made me a little sick to my stomach. I hate what Bass fishing has come to.

sucks!!! dont buy

Pffft! You call that fast? My cousin Popeye can throw a better rooster tail paddling a piece of driftwood on a can of spinach chasing after Olive!

mercury sucks, lol they waste gas to much and Yamaha's last longer
