Got my new motor in Friday and did some break in this weekend, all I can say, is this motor is awesome! I have about 3 hours on it now. Holeshot is not even comparable to my old 250xs racing engine, my old 250 two stroke would struggle out of the hole with a 26 fury 3 blade and would run 76-77 with two people loaded. I was by alone 215lbs, during break in with 1/2 tank of fuel and no tackle. I have 4 31 series batteries. i am turning a 24 fury 3 blade prop. I did a short 1/2 mile burst at the end of my trip yesterday and saw 79.1 and it was still rising when i backed out of it. I am not a speed freak by no means but this motor has some serious get up and go. I would never go back to two stroke again.
