four-stroke 225 yamaha with jet drive

[powerstoke]

Is anybody running this motor with a jet drive and how does it perform. Have heard that they are alittle slow out of the hole. Any help would be great.

I've heard the same thing.

But if your going to drop that much money for a motor, go V-8 and Hamilton 212. I doubt you'll see the fuel economy since it's a pump and not a prop and again, no heat/defrost. Otherwise a 2 stroke is a better option with a pump.

My 2 cents.

NR claims you get about a 30% increase in fuel economy. The other thing i enjoy is being able to have a conversation while running w/ the tiller... much quiter.
