FICHT.... Good deal or not?

Thanks!.... Not ready to spend that much yet but always nice to see what else is out there.

I plan on running my Grady in the coming weeks with the current 110 v4. I bought it as a non runner so I'm itching to see. Next I'll be strapping my 130 on the back and giving her a good run. I've got my fingers crossed all goes well. She was a great motor before the storm hopefully she still is. If all goes well I'll be listing her for sale in NJ. I ran the v that was listed on here by my wife but she wasn't too keen on the idea if 3 boats in the yard.

Yes--run from the 150/175/200 Ficht---the fuel map for those engines were way to lean at cruise rpm=burn down.

For these motors--it was not if, but when.

The 150/175 were bad, the 200/225's weren't supposed to be that bad. The 3.0L FICHT was said to be a bit of a dog, but the bigger 3.3l was a powerhouse and tore up lower units left and right(pick your poison).
