pass.... it can handle the 225 mercs weight provided your transom is in good cond and not wet. , but you will get worse fuel economy with the 225efi, my buddy has that model and it sucks gas even on low rpm running. 175-200 2s should be plenty of power to push that thing, I am...

Will one gallon of antifouling paint be enough to do 2-3 coats on 86 204c?

The wires to the motors (instruments) and the wires to the boat elec are seperate. If you lost everything, I would check ground. Start with the motor, clean the ground cable at the starter. Are you on single or double battery? If double check your swich.
