its got a 2 stroke on it, its not going to sell quick, everyone is all about four strokes, send him a low ball offer, it can't hurt and you might end up with a new boat

That Pursuit is down to $7900 now.

like I said, having a two stroke is killing resale

Thought I would resurrect this old thread as I am getting closer to getting ready to thinking about upgrading.

How do y'all feel about the Mercury 250-300 hp range Verados?

I know they have superchargers on them, any known problems/issues?

Looking back through this thread, I realize that I need to actually copy and paste the ads so I know what boat the feedback is about.

HEAVY PIGS! And I know there was some complaints about several models getting alot worse fuel burn than rated at. Personnally I would stick with YAMAHA or SUZUKI for that size of 4 stroke outboard.

Thanks Ferm.

[spareparts]

heavy, burn fuel, blow lower units, expensive to maintain. 1000 hour motors at best

[randlemanboater]

I am reviving this thread again.

Anyone have any input on this boat?

'96 Ranger 250C with twin '06 150 Yamahas 4 strokes.

Everything I can find on them is positive, this one seems to be in good condition.

Have you seen this one in your travels Spare? Its in Murrells Inlet.

The 150 4 strokes are great engines, and powerful with most reports putting them well over 150hp at the prop. My only concern would be the hull. The pics look like shes been well cared for, but I don't remember Ranger having built many large boats. Thought they were a short production run on them.
