I just traded 619 ranger 200 vmax hpdi on it great great motor, now have 620 ranger 250 mere verado same engine as 300 just a different chip for 50 more horsepower , this is a great motor also, although 4 stroke was different for me, very very quite. Both yammahas and mercs are great. Just a personal preference. Verado very easy to change oil and filter and lower unit oil. Again both have been very good to me. Although I do miss the howl and smell of the vmax, I know its kind of weird lol. Often times I forget the Verados running when sitting still. My 9.9 is way louder than the 250!! You can't go wrong either way if they are both taken care of. Kevin
