I have a 94 225g with an 03 250hpdi. it sits a bit stern heavy, but the scuppers drain fine and it runs like a raped ape. I think this motor weighs aroung 530lbs. Boat is rated for 235hp, but a gw dealer installed the 250 and said it would be fine. so far, so good. I love the boat, but i...

How did the hull change in 96'? Did it go to a solid transom?

Its interesting that a 94 228 seafer has a 280hp maximim when my 94 225 tourney, with solid transon and bracket, has a 235 max. I have a 250 hpdi on it anyway, but I dont understand why the seafer has a larger HP rating when its essentially the same boat? My boat runs awesome with the 250...

I have a 94 225 Tourney with the grady mounted engine bracket. I have an 2003 250 HPDI Yamaha. I am only getting 4900-5000 RPMs at WOT. From what I read, I should be getting 6k on this motor to keep it cleaned out. The owners manual says WOT is 4500-5500, but it redlines at 6150k. My top...

OK. I am convinced. 200-250 it is. Nikm820's numbers were quite convincing. Let me know if you run into a deal for a motor. As always, thanks for keeping me straight. Man do I want the boat in the water by summer though! Cheers,

Hi, I have a 94 228 G (dual console/grady swim/motor bracket) with no motor. Initialy, I was going big, but my time off, gas, etc., are changing my mind. My question is what is the minimum HP I can get away with on this boat? I used to have a 1982 Answer 21ft w/ a 115 evinrude and it ran OK...

The boat is a bow rider and that is a very good point you bring up about it weighing less than the sea farer. One of the problems is that I bought the boat w/o a motor so I have no way of testing how it rides in the water or asking the previous owner as I bought from a dealer. My GW dealer has...

I have been reading as much as possible about the repower for my 94 228G Tourney and I am stumped. In your opinion, should I put a newer fourstroke, like the yamaha 225-300hp (580lbs) or Evinrude 225-300hp (528lbs) OR should I stick with something lighter like the 200hpdi (480lbs) or Etec 200...

Thanks everyone. More research to do!

Thanks for the response. If you dont mind, let us know how the 17" prop affects your hole shot. I never dreamed my repower would be such a difficul decision and everything I read helps to clear it up for me. Cheers, kevin.

Hey SwampGrizz - First off, I hope you got your boat running OK. How well does the 200HPDI push your 228? I am considering it for my 228G Tourney. Just thought I would check w/ someone who had it on there.

I find this discussion so interesting as I am also in the need of a repower for my 94 228 Tourney. With the solid transon, swimbracket, and Grady engine bracket; I have had a hard time wrapping my brain around putting a 600lb motor back there and it NOT affecting the ride of the boat. My GW...

Stuff I need: Starbird windshield w/ glass Captains chairs (2) Motor (225 and up) GW decals Glove Box Hard Top I thought I would take a shot to see if anyone had this or knew someone who did. Not looking to spend a fortune on all new. Thanks for looking and keeping me in mind. The Boat is...
