Good info. I agree with everything stated except the bilge area being easy to work in haha.

If I gotta work in the bilge area I unscrew the lid and remove it so I can get in there easier

Bilge area has always been a pain. My cranking battery is almost completely concealed too

Good find. Thanks for posting. I agree bilge area is small, but so much easier to work on than some other boats.

I believe that I have seen this article before, and I have a very similar set up with mine being an 2002 with and 2003 225 EFI on a 10" Slidemaster. In the article, they tell you how they are running a 26" Trophy Plus, but it's on a 6" JP, which I don't believe it was later offered. I used to have a 26" Trophy Plus worked by Croxton, but would never turn proper RPM's range, since at best it ran 55-5600.
I run a 25" Trophy plus and a 26" Tempest plus worked by Croxton, which run in the 57-5800 RPM with similar speeds of that in the article and great holeshot.
