Hi Landscaper,   I have a 2012 model 2275 RCW with a 250 H.O. Etec G1. I am currently running a BRP RX4 18 pitch prop and my motor is mounted in the highest hole. My WOT is 5650 and 45mph and I'm able to trim to 50% without blowing out. I previously had the 18 pitch rebel and it would do 42mph...

BRP uses etec in their snowmobiles and the new G2 version was developed using Rotax technology. I believe it will give the 4 strokes a run for their money.

I can think of  a few advantages 15% better fuel economy 600ft llbs. of torque 5 year no dealer scheduled maintanence 5 Year warranty 75% fewer emmisions Just to name a few......

I have a 2275rcw with a 250ho ETEC and I run a 18" pitche rebel. Came with a 19", but I went down to get in the 5800-6000rpm range. 19 gave me 49mph. 18 puts me at 44mph.

I have the 250HO etec on a 22RCW. There is no "smell" or smoke and I used around 5 gallons of oil last summer and I was at the lake every weekend weather allowed and pulled tubs and did a lot of riding around. This also included the automatic 10hr break in when the computer doubles up on the...

I love my etec 250HO

I'm in the same situation. Mine is a 2275RCW Limited. It is expected to be at the dealer by Friday or Monday. I hope to have it by next weekend. If you look at the performance reports on Bennington and Evinrude's web site I believe there is a boat like yours with a top speed of 54mph.

Same for me!

Thanks for the reply Friar. I was actually referring to the clear coat they make. From what I can tell it is a lot like shark hide.

Thanks for the info!

Hi All, I just ordered a 2275rcw and I wanted to protect the toons from getting watermarks. Anyone ever tried the Toon Brite clear coat? I wonder if it is really worth the effort.
