Coach L. Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Presently In the market for a 2021 redfisher 21. My question is engine size. The minimum size yamaha i would buy would be a 250hp. Is a 300 overkill or better for resale and performance.? would love some feedback. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks From what I gather, the F300 and the VF250 SHO have the same horsepower. I would say - the least expensive 25" shaft model of the two, would be the right choice. Personally, I like the SHO color combo better. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyB Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 I wouldn’t think it will change the resale value much either way. It would be different if you were talking a 150 could put the boat on plane it just wouldn’t be quite as fast .. 250 to 300 not a big deal buy the one you like .. I do like the SHO’s as well.

Guest DavidG Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 Mine is a 2018 Hewes Redfisher with a 115 Yamaha SHO and has plenty of power! I’ve seen the new changes they have made and their great. Especially the seat cushion! On mine you need to pull the seat cover towards you to get to the storage compartment. I know this sounds trivial but I was waiting in line for my trailer and turned around to get in the compartment to get my keys and my left cheek hit the throttle and needless to say I saw my life flash before my eyes as my boat launched itself. Only by the grace of God I didn’t hit anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 250 SHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh141 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 25" 250 SHO. But that is just a guess because I love my 20" and wish that Yamaha offered the 25" in 2012. The New 21 Redfisher is a wide and stable boat. The 250 SHO would be plenty of power IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
