    Jeff at GW customer service does it again

    I was told the 350 would hurt the boat due to high torque on the transom. I wonder if any folks on here have a 268 with a single 250 4s and do 4s's really need the high test?

    Jeff at GW customer service does it again

    So Grog, are you saying Jeff at Grady customer service (not a motor salesman) is clueless. He stated the recent 250 4s's provide more performance than older 4s's and more than my 250 ox66 1998 engine. If this is not true, I would like to know as I may be purchasing one. i dont want to make a...

    Jeff at GW customer service does it again

    gradyfish22 according to Jeff, the 268 will plane faster, cruise faster and top out faster with the 250 4s. this is all due to yamahas more recent design changes with the 250 4s specifically with regards to changes of mechanical issues like timing and computer stuff. will cruise at 28 vs 25...

    Jeff at GW customer service does it again

    I hear ya re. the zuke but the yam dealer is near my house by boat-convenient, and the zuke dealer is a trailer ride away. Jeff said based on other customers experience, the new 250 4s would out perform the 2s ox66 with better economy and the twin 150s would do even better with regards to...

    Jeff at GW customer service does it again

    may need to repower my 1998 268 Islander that has a 98 250 ox66. We talked about a number of issues and options, the 250 4s yam being the best for me although I can see why twin 150's would be great, just not worth the $$ for my use. I have called them in the past, what a great outfit they...

    gulfstream vs islander

    I get 1.6 mpg with my 1998 268 and 250 ox66 and this is a very consistant number. top end is 37 mph and cruise at 4200 is 25 mph, full load half tower and 4 people

    gulfstream vs islander

    the beam to width ratio means the Islander rides better as the 232 pounds more. I have a 268 and have been on a 232. The 232 is more stable on a drift but the 268 does fine. I really like the euro transom on my 268 but some may not like it. i agree that a walk around has many advantages over...
