Mountain out of a mole hill is right. gw204's boat was bought, financed, and insured with the 225's already on there. All had the serial numbers and model numbers to what power was going on the boat. Lets face it the current version of the boat is rated to 500hp. Having been on Brian's boat...

In all seriousness, I remember the cover of a BoatUS showing a Fitch of the early years that had burned on a transom of the boat. With that said, i have been on gw204's boat a couple of times and she seems powered about right with the 225s. I dont see how 200's would make the boat a better...

For the first few trips neutral was a bit odd (especially since I had tight cables on my last boat). However within a couple of trips the detent for is easily found. I havent noticed it to be a problem at all in the 3 seasons I have had it now. I love the lack of throttle creep when running...

Catches fish on my May-craft 8) can you guess who it is? (no gw204, he didnt use the bucket either :lol: ) We were chumming the Bay Bridge area of the Ches bay on 5/18. Slow pick'ens and some lost fish. Two, lessons learned. 1. Plow anchors stinl in seas on a harder bottom 2...

Nice work! You must have had a stellar Capt to take the boat where the fish were and to be able to troll so close to the bridge.. :lol: 8)
