I believe Bombardier took over OMC in Feb of 2001. I own a 2000 200-HP FICHT and would do it again. I love this engine; just under 2,000 hours on it.

What are the problems with the 2001 250's? My mechanic told me to be careful since I was looking to buy one.

I saw a comment that the 2001 Evinrude 250-HP Ficht motors had "weak lower units." I attribute this to the outstanding torque and power output from the motor; it was probably too powerful for the gear case that Evinrude was using at the time.

Time and use is a very good test of a motor.

If the Evinrude FICHT has been in use for the last nine or ten years, then it is probably not one of the problem motors.

the mtr I am looking at has abt 200 hrs, so the use is low.

the ask price is $4500 (w/out controls)

it is a 2001 250 HP Evinrude
