We have a 1989 Grady White 22' Sea Farer. We are also repowering to a Verado 4 cylinder. We are going from a Evinrude Fam Ficht 225 to the Verado 200. The weight of the 2 motors are almost identical. We do not have the bracket but an open transom in the back. Everyone that we spoke with...

Re: Repower Revisited.. 86 22' Seafarer + 175 Suzuski 4 Str Thanks for everyones input on this. it has helped more than I can tell you. Right now we a Mercury Dealer narrowed down between 2 dealers.. Bass Pro, and Holden Beach Marina... Ill let you know how it all turns out.

Re: Repower Revisited.. 86 22' Seafarer + 175 Suzuski 4 Str Just a side note, we contacted a local yamaha dealer and asked for his recommendation and he came back with a Yamaha 4 stroke 250 for 24,000.00 A tad steep imho.

Re: Repower Revisited.. 86 22' Seafarer + 175 Suzuski 4 Str Just wanted to update this.. a lot has changed after a long time doing research and some fact finding.. we have ruled out the 175 suzuski. We considered a Yamaha 4 stroke but I think that added weight is to much for the 89 Sea Farer...

Im not sure if the Suzuki is current of a leftover... I assume it is a new motor, but I do not know what year.. I have started looking at the Mercury Verado 200 4 Stroke 4 cyl. It weighs the same as the Ram Fich we have now, and comes with a 5 year warrenty. Bass Pro has a sale on them...

Thanks for everyones input! :) I looked at the Suzuski and it scared me. The offset shaft with a chain connection just unsettled me. Chains wear out, need adjustment, replaced, ect... maybe im over reacting a little and I should dig a little more. I priced some Verados locally and it...

Thanks for your input I really do appreciate it. Im sorry for the typo, it is an 89 22 ft Sea Farer. Personally, I am so disgusted with the Ram Ficht Evinrude, we have had nothing but issues with that motor since we purchased her 5 yrs ago. Im my search for a good solid reliable motor, I...

I did this last summer and its not difficult. We looked locally for prices and everyone wanted outrages prices just for springs. We found an website online that had great prices on springs. If I find that site I will post it for you... The install only took a few hours and all parts...
