Looking for opinions on 2007/2008 225 HP direct inject outboards. Which do you like and why? Are all the bugs worked out of direct inject by now? Where to get the best value? What would you expect to pay?

Thanks!

Hi FO

I owned a 2003 Evinrude DFI, a 225hp to be exact. I know you want info on the new ones, but here goes anyways. It was a great engine. I sold it with about 600 hours on it and it was flawless during the time I owned it. I paid, in February of 2003, $12,100 for that engine. I really hope they aren't looking to get $20K+ for it now...

I would buy another one. I was very happy with it.
