My 2004 F225 has 600 hours on it now and just purrs. I wonder how many hours we can expect before a major overhaul is needed. I have heard stories about the CG running Hondas for 5000 or 6000 hours but do not have any first hand information. I am not going to mess around with mine. When it starts to show its age, either the motor or entire rig will be replaced. Just curious what to expect.
Separate but somewhat related question. Does the capacity plate on a 23' boat have any legal bearing? The 23 SE is rated for 225 HP. Would there be any reason not to put an F 250 on it? I cannot imagine that 25 HP is going to stress that hull. I have toured the plant and seen the stringer system.
