WTB fresh powerhead: ProMax, 260, or Bridgeport EFI
I'm looking for a fresh or recently freshened clean freshwater EFI powerhead, preferably updated with top-pin pistons. 225 ProMax, 260, maybe even a 2.5L 200. May also consider a stock all-nik 2.4 Bridgeport if there's one out there. NO JUNK... I'm looking for matching halves, stock heads, and no major block modification. May also consider a complete 20" motor if the price is fair. Willing to take a road trip if necessary. Message me. Thanks!

Tough crowd...
Maybe I should just resleeve my Bridgeport. I was hoping to avoid tearing down and rebuilding a powerhead myself.'89 Hydrostream Vegas XT, '90 Merc 2.4 Bridgeport PCU EFI

I have my eye on another ProMax, but I still have an open mind. Going to buy something soon.

I lost a ring locator pin. Ran great the last time I used it. The next time I tried to run it, I heard the trouble as soon as I cranked it at the ramp, and shut it down quickly. I have a gouged cylinder wall, and munched-up piston and head. Everything else is fine. I'm not interested in sleeving it. I will be parting it out soon, after I find its replacement.

Yes, but then I would have to tear it down, ship it out, re-assemble... I don't have the time for it. Our daughter will be welcoming a little sister in February, and I want to have a simple powerhead swap completed by then, in hopes that I'll be able to use the boat some next summer.
I'm leaning toward a 2.5 200 EFI... I can't afford the cost of a 260, the wife and daughter can't stand the loud Weldon pump and horn EFI, and I get sick of charging the battery after every trip out with the 15 amp system. Maybe I'm getting old, but a reliable and family-friendly 80+ mph boat might be good enough for me at this point. I'd love another Bridgeport, but it needs to be fresh, and for the right price. A 225 ProMax would be ideal, but there's nothing available right now.
I'm making a deal sometime in the next week if nothing else suitable comes along.'89 Hydrostream Vegas XT, '90 Merc 2.4 Bridgeport PCU EFI

I might call on that, thanks for the tip. Today I de-rigged and un-bolted the powerhead. It's all ready to lift and swap.

You'd do well to buy that 200PM from Lee. Straight shooter and the best of the best reputation, and a genuinely nice family.

Still looking for a powerhead. Apparently it's impossible to find a motor anymore.
I'm about done losing sleep over this. I'm seriously going to sell this f***ing boat if I can't find a re-power over the winter.
Everybody's hoarding the good stuff, and the rest of it is selling before I can even pick up the phone.'89 Hydrostream Vegas XT, '90 Merc 2.4 Bridgeport PCU EFI
