hello folks. first post because first sea worthly boat. I just purchased a 2000 pro-line 23ft walkaround. Boat has one of the FICHT 225 engines. Its has 560 hrs on it and I did a sea trail for about 1.5 hrs. Seemed solid and shown no issues. I purchased boat long time Gloucster resident. He seemed fanatical and very well informed. Question I have to ask, is this a time bomb engine? It has been serviced by Evinrude tech and has had all software updates done. H20 and plugs every other year and filters every season. Ive tried search engine on forum but many are older. Thoughts on one of these engines in 2014 with 500 plus hrs. I know maintance is huge factor and seems thats covered. Probably be first of many posts because Ive always felt these forums are best outlet for advice and info. Thanks in advance.
