I was interested in a 2016 fish/ski boat and it is equipped with a mercury verado 250 pro four stroke engine. I just want some feedback on the pros/cons. I read they have issues with oil contamination?
TIA!!

Very good engines. As with anything used, be sure to get it checked out, including (at least):
-Serial Number Check
-Compression/Leakdown
-Gearcase Check
-Computer Diagnostic System Printouts (Run History and Freeze Frame/Fault History)
-Maintenance History (and current Needs) Review

Is the 600lb really noticeable during towing or hole shot?

Awesome, thanks!!
Different engine. Let's stick to the information for the SUPERCHARGED model that the Original Poster is asking about (and not confuse it with information from V8 models).
And yes, there is approximately 4" setback already built into the AMS (Advanced Mid-Section) used for Verado Models.
