    Quicksilver, the ficht were 183 inch (3.685 bore) in 1999, 2000 for both the 200/225. The 3.3 (3.854) was introduced as a 2001 in late 2000 right before the bankrupcy.

    Well wouldn't you know it. The Pro Marine 2004 parts book is wrong. You can look on pages 137 and 138 in the OMC piston section and they dont list any engine with a 3.854 bore. Not any Fitch engine or any other. Page 32 in the 2004 Red Rhino, Outboard Recycle must be printed wrong too. They list 1999-2003 200,225,250 Fitch engines all at 183 CID. I hope both companys have all of this corrected in the 2005 catalogs.

    After lots of thought, I decided to let Holeshot Marine do the rebuild. several reasons;
    1. in our conversations, they convinced me they know what they are doing
    2. I wanted to get the boat running sooner that 6 months (which is what it take if I did it)
    3. I was worried that I woul dnot be able to get all the complicated bits and pieces of teh FICHT back together right.
    4. I'd have to have some one do the ECM & buy the parts anyway....and that is the majority of the costs. (they made me a good deal)

    So, Dan and Joey are on teh job. turns out I lost a locator pin in #2 and did some scarring to the cylinder wall. The block is at the machine shop now get all cylinders bored 20-over.....it should take care of the bad one and clean the others up so that they are all teh same. They are going to do both lower units, decarbon the Starboard motor and install new plugs in both.

    Should be ready to Scream and Fly in a week or so

    No need to overbore the other cylinders unless they are bad too.
