I'm not an Evinrude fan, but you might think about it for the sake of controls and guagues, depending on which one you pulled off. Controls are an oft-overlooked expense in repowering. |

Location: Duluth, MN | I just bought and repowered a 1999 620 last year. I went with the Yami F200 NON-SHO. Read too many posts about some SHO issues so i stayed away from it. Maybe they have been worked out since.
Anyways i sent you a PM. |

Location: Minnesota | Given the choice between the two. I would go with Yamaha if you were to have problems on a fishing trip you will have a better chance of getting it fixed. There are more dealer's across the country and Canada |

Location: Tinley Park, IL | If you are going with a SHO it will have to be a 250 since they don't make a 25" model in anything other than the 250. I went with a F175 on my X-190 and have been very pleased so far. I don't think I would have gotten the SHO even if it were available. Too many bass guys are reporting issues with their SHOs. |
