I wasn’t…just said I wouldn’t call it bullet proof.

Yikes, cost of new SHO is $20.250.00

Is that with controls, prop, and guages installed? Thats cheaper than the quote I got

with the fuel efficiency of a new four stroke yamaha it’ll pay for its self….but on a side note i would think hard before i would rebuild a motor of this size and 12 years old. even just hanging a new etec would be a better option in my opinion.

Well he has been here forever and you have been around long enough. I don’t expect you to know him personally but his name is sorta recognizable. Alot like BK & James.

Who is BK??

Started down a long winding road. Rebuilding my 2005 225 Etec. I found that the ring centering pin on #4cyl, broke or fell out. Causing the ring to collide with the exhaust port and break a chunk off the sleeve. Took the block in today for resleeving #4 and all new pistons (.20).

I hope everything goes smooth with the rebuild.

That’s awesome your tackling it.

Hung up the towel for the year or still hoping she’ll get out a few more times?

Best of luck!

Buzz, you are a much braver man than I.
I wish you luck!

You must have an awesome set of tools.

That looks like my kind of fun buzz! I hope it works when your done. Did they check the crank to see if it was tweaked?

Buzz, how did the rebuild go? I am im same boat. Could use some advice.
