Most that have ran both would agree with me. The making oil debacle was identified and resolved. The key with the SHO is the break in. Do it by the book! It's a bad mamer jammer.

But, if were in say a Ranger, where I could pick my motor, I would most likely go with the 250 Pro XS. Like James said above. Before going to Skeeter, my 2 previous boats had Pro XS's on them, and they never had any issues. But I have not had any Yamaha issues either. So, either Sho/XS for me! https://www.instagram.com/back40.outdoors www.mercurymarine.com www.lftlures.com
