For what it is worth, I repowered with a ficht 225 last fall and have about 40 hrs on it. It is a great engine. My mechanic told me, recently, long after I paid the tab, that about 4800 fichts had been sold in Bonbardier's reign and only 3 have come back, for problems due to installation.
They are making a great engine, but, I have to admit, I don't think I'll see 3,000 hours outta it either. By then I will have ripped it off and bolted on the latest trend anyhow.
My two cents is paid!
