Brand new 2020 Mercury 225 PRO XS on a 2006 Century 2200 WA. Boat was running with a dry weight of around 3000 pounds. Top speed was approximately 47 mph with some trim left to be had.

This is probably the best video on youtube for these motors, well done. It sold me to get this for my new pontoon. Went from settling with the 115 ProXS and now getting the 250 V8

Those engines sound so good. Especially when you have it out and hooked up to the muffs. I thought I’d miss the 2 smoke sound but this’ll do just fine. They kind of sound like a bmw 3.0 in-line 6. Which is I guess what this is. Or are the Mercury’s a v6?

That motor is for emergency only. We will do about 5-6 mph I believe. It connects to our main tank. We will run it just to keep it fresh and not stagnant but emergency only.

Hey man how is this engine now? I'm about to put one on my 240 outrage, only a 250 PRO. 4400 pound boat rated for 300 but I have a kicker. They suggested the 250.
@brianblizzard7591Ай бұрын
The motor is still awesome. The power from 6 cylinders to 8 cylinders is really evident on planing off. The max hp is 225 (which is what I have) on my boat but I also have a kicker and it was never a factor on installation, at least with my particular set up. Your 250 is probably the same everything as the 300, just programmed different. Regardless, I am very happy with this motor.

Top speed I believe was around 47mph and it’s a 16x17 Mercury enertia eco 17 pitch prop. Prop does very well with the boat. 200 on a 21 ft boat should perform great!
