I was wondering what the benefits of each motor would be versus the other. If the 225 etec ho would perform as good as the 250 etec what would I need with bigger motor. Especially if the smaller motor would be getting better fuel economy?One of these motors would be mounted on a 21x soon. Thanks for your help. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif
The 225 would be faster on top end because of the gear case, they both will get about the same miles per gallon.
SO is the gear case different than my 04 or not Saw Rodneys motor today l/u looks identical to mine.. SMG
Yes....and No, http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/eyes.gif the gear case is the New Lightning.
SOOOO. You'll have to shoot me or what??What does (NEW) mean??SMG http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

There were some improvements to the gear set so it could handle the torque of the DI HO and the E-Tec.
There is a way to tell if the gear case has the improvements, under the plate where the torque tab would be there is a electronically etched number, this improvement was made last year so unless you have had a gear case replaced with a new Bomb gear case in the last year you want have the new Lightning.
