I have a 1995 Evinrude 200hp Vindicator. Having owned it since '99 and taken excellent care, it's always been a good engine and boat. Added hydraulic steering and hydraulic jack plate. I accidentally got water in the oil reservoir and blew a couple cylinders, so I need to rebuild/replace the power head. Since the 200, 225 and 250 all use the same engine block, could someone please tell me what else I'd need to replace in order to upgrade my engine to a 225? Any other issues I should be aware of? My Stratos 289FS will handle up to 235hp, so I'm wondering about the feasibility given the expense I'm facing - i.e. spend a few more bucks and have a slightly larger engine. Current set up with a 21p high-rake prop, boat tops out upper 60's when not loaded, albeit with a little chine walk. Thanks!
