Seen at least 10 250 HO engines at the Houston boat show last night. Most on salt water boats as this is a 90% salt water show. The first ones I looked at close had scoops on the lower unit water intake. Should get lots of H20 pressure with that set up. Bombardier has been MIA the past few years but not this year. Bombardier choose to attend the show but is pushing Seadoos, not outboard engines. Not one outboard on display in the Bombardier booth. As always, a great show & perfect family outing.
