    Is anyone running a g2 on their bird? Should I bother with the g2 or keep my used search to merc and Yamaha .

    My brother found a brand new G2 225 and put it on his Stratos 200 ProXL. It runs mid 70's. I don't have anything against the Evinrudes, I run a 2014 250 Etech on the back of my 721. There have been some issues with the G2's, mainly around the electronic shifting. IMO, given the fact the Evinrude is no longer in business, if being able to sell the rig in the future is a factor, I would limit my search to a good Mercury or Yamaha.

    The only way I would buy a boat with an evinrude on it, is 1) I planned to keep it a long time and 2) if I got a good enough deal on it that I wouldn't have a problem spending the money to repower in a couple of years.
    The G2 is a stout motor, but it's got too much technology inside of it to be repaired at home and not many shops will touch them now since they're no longer in business.
