In the current edition of Bass & Walleye boats magazine, they have a test of 4 outboards and the Mercury 250XS came in top dog – more fuel efficient then the 3 other 4 strokes they tested against. Surprisingly though the Verado came in last for fuel efficiency. The E-Tech was not in the study and as they say – “It’s a shame we didn’t have Evinrude’s 250 E-Tech in the mix to compare to – they were very conspicuous in their absence” – whatever that means.
What do you guys think?
