    250 pro xs 4 stroke question

    Does anyone know how tall the new motors are? My boat garage has a hole that my current motor sets in so I can fit my boat in the garage. It is 82” tall. I’m just making sure when I get new boat, the motor will fit. Thanks.

    Mine sits at 84” in the down position, with 6” to the floor from bottom of Skeg. This is on a 2075 Lund bass boat.

    So I would say the motor is real close to 78”

    so in my bass boat the skeg will go all the way to the ground. Sounds like I might be ok. Thx.

    Eric- I'm guessing you don't have your 4-stroke yet... once you do, be sure to provide the serial number each time you post. Thanks!

    The above should be approximately correct- working on the assumption that both engines are the same shaft length (which they should be, given the boats they appear to be on, or going on).
