Joe, Do you know of any new changes on the 225 and 250 for 2004?

reel smoker:

hope you got the oats in front of your house, i was afraid to leave the chum. i did not know if you were home. loberstering was excellent, caught a few mangrove snapper and a few tarpon. i left the boat in stuart to paint the red and i am having the gray inside painted white. i thought about having hatchs made in the transom cover but decided against it because of the curve of it and i would not have much depth to the hatches, but let me know if you have any ideas.i see you have the fitch fever.

No there are no changes that I know of on these engines. We have over a dozen 200 thru 250 2003 DI's out there and have had no problems or recalls on them.

Hi, Harold yes I got the oats at first I thought it was the chum and was hesitant on opening it. Yes Ive had Fitch fever just having a hard time putting out the $$$.Maybe next year.Let me know how the the painting worked out.
JOE, Thanks again,If I dont get one in 2004 I might wait and go with the Etec if they come out with a 250 in 2005.

Harold,I would'nt put any hatches there if your going to leave the batteries in that location unless you seal it completely. If I remember correctly theirs like 7 or 8 inches from the top to the top of the batteries which you can use for storage?

Hey Joe, you get a motor on that puppy yet?. I need to bring the boat over and get you to replace the bowl on the lower carb, next couple of weeks good for you?

Don, You can bring the boat by any time. I dont recall which carb bowel we need so you it will take a extra 2 days to get the correct one in. The Evinrude is not installed yet. Still sitting on the showroom floor. THe stern is done, its now 25" and the rigging is done for the new engine. All I need is another 2 hours and it will be done. THe problem is its been like this for over a month now, just no time. ill have you weld the t-top this winter.
