I'm new to the forum and i'm looking at buying a used 2003 222 fisherman. It is powered with a 225 yamaha four stroke. I boat in new york so i'm dealing with 10% ethanol in the fuel. The boat is in good condition and has just about everything i want.... i need to add a livewell and possibly the transom jumpseats.
Anyway, what should i be looking for with this boat and power set up
Have there been any issues with the '03 222 fisherman i should know about or look for?
What about the yamaha power? I've heard a few stories about filter problems and carbon build up in these engines. Any thing in particular i should be looking for or i should do?
Thanks for the help, i'm looking forward to being a grady owner.
