fishsmith,
I have read alot on this comparison and if you go over to tht.com you will find alot of information. If it were me if the 4-stroke 225 is enough power for the boat it's a no brainer imo. The fuel economy will be much better especially at low rpm, you will not have the hassle and expense of adding oil, there will also be no fumes. Now with all this said the 250, will be a faster motor to plane and top end. If you are into speed get the 250hp 2-stroke.
From an investment standpoint future resale of the boat if you decide to sell in the future will be greater with the 4-stroke......I guess the only question is will the 225hp be enough hp for that particular boat?
I do know there are alot of heavy 23' boats out there running the 225hp Yamaha and Honda engines and most seem to be very pleased with performance, and economy...
Is it possible to sea trial the boat?
