    G2 225, 225 H.O. or 250

    Picking up a Falcon 205 and not sure if I should grab the 225, 225 H.O. or 250 G2??? Besides top speed any other advantages to the H.O. or 250?
    Are they the same block with just different fuel mapping?
    Not too concerned with speed...65 is good with me. They are all within $2,500.

    I would go with whatever is the max rating of the boat. You will get
    better overall performance and better resale value in the event you
    need to sell it. Falcon's are great looking boats. Good luck.

    Id go 250 ho better hole shot without sacrificing speed, the ho models in the past( or other brands) had better exhaust or something like carbon reed valves to make up to the limit of 10% more hp than the sticker and fall into specs for claiming 225, more like up to 247.5 if it's a perfect one, vise versa a 250 ho is up to 275, it is more likely to be 267.... Blah blah blah but yeah the ho should have a little more

    What about the display size? DPS and auto trim? And don't forget the matching side panels.

    I think I'm getting it fully loaded!! Side panels will be black with blue stripe. Getting a bright blue flake with dark gray accent.

    Not sure either....although I will enjoy be able to grab my rods and tackle without getting into the boat.
