Re: 225 opti max
John
I take it that you are still using the premium oil? What kind of plugs are you running? The Champions or the NGK's. Tose NGK's really make a difference too.

Re: 32' New SC at BPS in Baltimore
Its my experience that the Seacraft Brand's worst enemy is you local BPS store.
How can you have a convincing salesman who has never even been for a ride on a SeaCraft?
