I have a 2002 Skeeter ZX250 and about a month ago the 250 Yamaha on it gave up the ghost. I've been pricing out the cost to rebuild, and it looks like I've got a $3500-$4000 bill coming for that. As I was looking for used motors, some of the prostaff G2's started showing up and they have me intrigued. As I've been reading about them, I find that now I kind of want one...lol
So my questions are:
1. What type of cost would I be looking at going to the new controls?
2. Are their any years of this motor that have known issues that I should stay away from? For instance, there is one for sale in the motors section, and a few floating around at different marinas, with what seem like reasonable prices.
3. Would I need to re-prop, or should a tempest with a new hub work?
4. Are there any things I need to take into consideration that I may be overlooking?
5. I see some people talking about 10 year warranties. When I look online, I'm only seeing 5-6 year. How do you get a 10 year warranty, and what is the cost?
6. And finally, what is a ball park price for a new 250 hp G2?
Thanks
Chris
