Thought about looking for a 225/250 low hours take off Zuke, but haven’t stumbled across an irresistible deal yet.
I know nothing about this specific engine, but there is a used 2006 250 Zuke with 370 hours in FL on ebay for short money. 150 merc works. It's no speed demon, but I did 155 mile trip last weekend @ 30mph.
