In the early phases of repowering my 95’ 2520. Currently has a 2010 225 Optimax DTS XL with 298 hours. Someone made me a killer offer for the motor and rigging that’s simply too good to pass up. Supply chain is tough, and I’ve narrowed down to Suzuki and Honda. Having run both, it’s tough. I...

Finally finished up everything. New flush mount vent w/ p-trap, re routed the vent line to attach better. New VST filter and sensor, remote 90GPH spin on in the bilge, and new fuel line and ball from filter to engine (just because). Throw in a trim and tilt assembly on the motor and it was a fun...

Hey guys, New to the site, but it’s already been a wealth of knowledge. Hoping to gain more. Gonna use this thread for the refit on a ‘95 2520 that I picked up. Little background: 2nd owner, original didn’t use the boat and let it go cosmetically the last few years. I started doing some little...
