Somebody on BBC had said there was a write up on the 395 w/225s .The weight is only 5 lbs difference between the three ,that is very impressive.So here it is .Check out the price back then.

Here's a good test on how motor plays a big part in holeshot .same boat 3 different motors and one was a turd coming out of the hole even with a smaller prop.Yamaha has always been a beast on hole shot and top end.
The only problem I see is this article is 17 years old. None of these motors are even remotly recognizable to todays engine.
Nice bit of history, but not much help on choosing a motor for today use.

not everyone has your money Hick, some of us have older rigs looking for info. Eat a snickers!!Originally Posted by Hickory Legend
Nothing to do with today's motors just to help guys out with setups on these rigs .Tons of older boats out there with setup issues that were a lot to do with the motors of those years.
Had a old boat mechanic tell me once if you want to pull skiers buy a OMC if you want to go fast buy a Mercury .
Snoop your old boat is at least 10 years older than this article. Its still so nice you wont take me out in it.

I remember when that article came out. Back then I had a Stratos with an Evinrude 150.
