After 3 weeks, I absolutely love my new (to me) 257 center console, model year 2004. It has a 2-stroke engine, and the oil tank is filled through an opening in the rear starboard corner of the hull. It fills v-e-r-y slowly, apparently because there is no vent. If others have this problem (maybe it's not confined to the 257), I'd appreciate hearing how you handle it. Thank you.
