I have a 250 Sho on my 2010 Jaguar. I bought the boat from a friend in 2012. It had 19 hours on it when I got it. I have 65 to 70 hours on it now. I know thats not many hours, but I love it and couldnt be happier. The quietness of the motor, hole shot, and fuel efficiency are amazing. The top end is also excellant. I have had no problems. I love not having to mess with the oil resivoir. My bilge is as clean as when the boat was new. The Yamaha oil and fuel additives are a bit expensive, but my motor maintenance expense per year has been similar to my old Merc 250 efi. I like to service the motor and lower unit annually. I know thats overkill. Its recommended every 100 hours. Do a test drive with that motor and I think you will be excited. All I can say is go for it.
