Ordered a new 225 Yamaha SHO today. Why my 20' ranger is only rated for a 225 is a mystery for me. Plenty of 20' rangers are rated for a 250 but not my '07. Also going to get a new hydraulic jack plate coming I think I'm going to go with a Bobs or maybe an Atlas ( I'll take any opinions on the two if you have one). Going to go ahead and get a new prop and the cables to connect the SHO to my Solix unit. Now I just have to figure out what to do with my old Yamaha f225. I could part it out or fix it and sell it or I may have a buyer for it as is. Decisions decisions

water HP is expensive. 5HP OR 200..You sure you couldnt just get some stickers. On rice burners the right stickers is good for another 50hp. and a coffee can muffler...rig it up some stickers...bam 200hp...you out 30 40 bucks..
 
23 grand man that's a lot of money. I own a 1989 with a 70hp evinrude 2 stroke that's been a wide open throttle and 6 thousand RPM's for almost 40 years. They don't make them like they use to apparently.
 
Also had a guy at the boat ramp that said you'll only get so many hours out of the newer 4 strokes. He brought it up after seeing my old 2 stroke. No idea if there's any truth to it. Good luck with your new motor.

I ran this one hard but maintained it meticulously. Did the 1000 hr service at less than 900 hrs and changed the oil a few times a year. For an electrical problem to cause this kinda ticks me off because I feel like I did my part to keep it running.
