Hey Guys,

I am putting this out there as I have a buddy that is thinking of buying a Ranger 621 next spring and has always been a Yamaha guy until he got a 250 Etec on his last boat, but is seriously considering the Verado this time around.

From what he has heard is the Verado trolls down better. He will have a kicker, so the trolling down isn't a huge issue, but he walleye fishes a lot and likes the idea of big motor trolling down better.

What kind of mileage are you guys getting with both these motors?

He has a 2010 ETec on his 620 right now and even though the engine itself is bullet proof, it drives him crazy having to add oil every tank of gas. (It's not the cost of the oil, it's the hassle of even having to deal with it. A month on LOTW this year and he went through over 10 gallons of XD100.)

So 100% chance there will a 4 stroke on his next Ranger.

Thanks - Ball Cap
