The mechanic is outta his mind. The only good thing a 250 is for that boat is the mechanics wallet. I'm running a 225 and I can tell you that there are times when it feels just a little squirley. To say nothing of the amount of gas it eats. I think a 150 to a 175 is just about right. Of course that's just my opinion, and others may have different thoughts, but a 250 is way outta line IMHO.
