    Love my 250.

    2 season no issues.

    Torque & holshot are insane and I'm running the massive legend v21

    Absolutely love it.

    Yes in a heartbeat.

    Pros- Torque, hole shot amazing. Switching from hotfoot to hand throttle. Fuel/oil mileage. 10 year warranty. Quiet. Smooth. Looks.

    Cons-More expensive.

    The hole shot is amazing really runs strong and the 10 year warranty is great.

    Speaking for the 150 guys, Three Thumbs Up, for all the reasons above. And it catches fish too!

    My only complaint from the 150 end of the spectrum is that Motor-mate has yet to offer a product for us "little guys"

    One trim issue when I got the boat last year, the seals on the cylinders were leaking. My dealer fixed it real fast.

    One season with it and I love it! Crazy torque

    Absolutely love the motor and yes I would buy another without even a second thought. With that being said, I am waiting for my new 2018 Z521L with G2. Just waiting for the two area boat shows to be over as the dealer needed one for the shows. The boat they ordered for the show (with a G2) didn't make it on time. G2 all the way!!!

    I would love to see hear some feedback on the Lynx with the G2 once you get it dialed in!

    You thinking about a lynx? I’ll have a Caracal with the G2 this spring. Let me know if you want to go for a ride.

    Not really thinking about it since my ride is still pretty much new. Eventually when I am in the market, the Lynx is high on the list. Not real sure when "eventually" would be... I'm looking forward to seeing what J. Crews's Lynx with Verado does for performace too.

    The Caracal w/G2 should be a nice looking set-up. I will look for you in the mix of 345,887,000 bass boats on St. Clair in May!

    Great to hear the G2 customers like the motors. I was an OMC fan til ficht, and everyone I knew with an E tec got rid of it. Hope to get back if the G2's are reliable long term.
