Well, that explains things... I'm thinking that it was a 200 rebuild and then they bumped it up to a 225 for that last oz of thrust... I am sooooo tempted to pull the engine and put my 200 Merc on.. that's a $0 conversion.. just time and maybe some bolts and stuff... Still, I think I'm going to fix this engine, even though fixing it is keeping me from fishing <sigh>...
decisions.. decisions

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
