My 226 that has lived happily on a 5400 lb Loadrite for the last 12 years. Many many miles of use. Minimum travel distance 110 miles round trip.

Your way off on your estimates. Mine with a full tank of fuel was #4950 on the certified scale. Pulled it up and down the east coast with a 2001 Tahoe w/ 5.3 and 3.73 rear. Hardly even knew it was back there. Got 11 to 11.5 MPG when pulling.

My 226 is a year older than yours. No problems finding stainless thru hulls for the boat. Replaced all mine plus the scuppers

You have a 1995 so you have the same glove box configuration I have. I flush mounted my previous GPS and the front of the glove box was too vertical and provided a poor viewing angle. I had to squat and lean back to be able to see the screen directly on. When it came time to select a new...

Use what you took off of them. Hoses typically have a service lifetime of 5-7 years. Throw in some deck cleaner from time to time and I think the hose held up very well considering you got twice the expected lifetime out of them.

I wouldn't worry about it. The E-10 will absorb up to 0.5% water by volume in the tank. If you have 100 gallons in the tank the E-10 would absorb a 1/2 gallon of water with no adverse effects. If it was more than that, which I seriously doubt, the Racors will take care of it.

I'm pushing my 226 with 200HP Ocean Pro with running a 141/2 x 17 4 blade Renegade prop. Good hole shot. WOT @39-40 mph with hardtop and 3/4 tank of fuel. Prop torque is almost non-existent

You can usally find shop manuals on E-bay as well. Here is one for $19 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1998-EVINRUDE-JOHNSON-125C-130-200-225-250-MANUAL_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247QQcategoryZ26453QQihZ003QQitemZ130292437680QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V

You can buy Crippled Alewives just about anywhere. I believe your looking for a 13/0. You can get them at just about any shop that carries Bay tackle My preference, and what I drag religiously, is a 21 Tony Accetta. Just never had all that much luck with the Crips

Certainly playing off people's fear and ignorance of ethanol fuels to sell their product. Certainly left the waters very muddy particularly when it comes to the types of alcohol used in the various products. Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) has been used for years as “dry-gas”. Don't remember cars...

All of the above mentioned suppliers are nothing more than distributors. I can guarantee you that not one of them has a foundry out back making SS thru hulls. Odds are all 3 of them are buying them from the same manufacturer. Ask for a drawing of the parts. I’ll bet good money that you get...

Not sure I'd walk away from a boat that was what I wanted becouse of something held on by 4 bolts. If you like the boat, buy it under the premise that you'll have to repower, sooner or later and make an offer accordingly. My “needs repowered” is going on 5 years of service.

997 200 Ocean Pro. Ran Evinrude HD30 for a couple if years. Had several gallons of Merc Premium Plus laying around and gave it a try. MPP smoked less and seemed to troll better than the HD30. Have MPP ever since. I decarb in the spring and run no additives at all after that.

Most likely your temp semsor is shoot. Airmar makes Furuno's transducers. Take a look here to determine which one you have. http://airmartechnology.com/airmar2005/ex20/RMProducts/DrillDown.asp?Type=FF

The type of lugs you currently have are irrelevant. You replace the entire wheel assembly with a disc brake upgrade

With a rod holder you have one side of the flange in compression and the other side in tension. Spreading the load will work on the tension side but is not as effective on the compression side. Increasing the thickness will help with the compression. A ¼” aluminum would strengthen the area...

I have the aux tank on mine. Replumbed the fuel lines last summer. Running the hoses back to the selector valve is pretty easy. Running the fill line would be a pain.

Might want to try Eastern Trailer as well. S-Cad Kodiaks are $119 each

It's been a while but I don't remember them being such a big chore. Remove the access covers and the thru hull fitting should be starting at you. You have to work on the drain blind but it’s not an overwhelming chore.

Buy an Icom VHF and add a Command Mike. http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/producte/10001/-1/10001/247273?&cid=chanintel&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=247273
