Paste from an "independent" magazine test.
Not surprisingly given its strong on-water performance, the Mercury
250XS pulled the most horsepower (252 hp at 5200 rpm). Next was the
Yamaha (246 hp at 5600 rpm). Evinrude brought up the rear (239
hp at
5600 rpm).
In terms of torque, the Yamaha 250 HPDI VMax edged Mercury with 268
lb.-ft. at 3800 rpm, vs. the Merc's 267 lb.-ft. at 4400 rpm.
Evinrude came in a distant third, with 250 lb.-ft. at 4000 rpm.

Gee those pesky "independent" tests, the dealers must be making
up the
excuses as we type:-) look at the lack of E-Tec torque!!! Woohoo
this
before your season even starts!!!!
Yes yes I know it's all technically legal, but be aware when the HP
numbers get big so does that 10% allowance. I assume E-Tec
charge for a
full 250HP??? Oops silly me now I remember, that's right they're
MORE
expensive than the others.

Either cite, or post the ENTIRE article.

Why should she, the point was made. And a very good point it was.

Without article, or cite it was simply an opinion by someone who
doesn't have the technical training needed to intelligently offer any
facts above what she's allegedly snipped from an alleged article.


There's no evidence extant that Ms. Smith has any valid technical
training whatsoever.


There a cool new web site just for this sort of situation. It's called
google.com. Might want to look into it. I plugged in "Not surprisingly
given its strong on-water performance" and what do you know...

Well done phish & thanks for that.

Of course like you I suspect "some" are not as stupid as they pretend,
is it even possible for "some"??? Of course some are more stupid than
they lie:-)

It's part of they object to my on topic boating post because it
doesn't follow the corporate marketing line.

The problem I have is that the dealers in E-Tec have started a full on
Ficht replay of BS advertising, so when there is non Company material
I stumble across I'll share it.

Of course the dealers will be running their stuff unchallenged as they
wish.

As I posted previously, there is NO evidence whatsoever that Ms. Smith
has any valid technical training whatsoever, or ANY legitimate
credentials relating to any sort of marine engines. None, zip, zilch.


I think she stayed at a 'Holiday Inn' one night.
