2001 Evinrude Ram 225

I am considering trading in my 1992 Javelin 389T for a 2002 Stratos 20xl with a 2001 Evinrude Ram 225 and have heard a lot of negatives about this year model motor and need advise on both the boat and motor.
Thanks

Post the negitives you heard.

I was told by a local dealer that this year model and prior did not quote"stay together very well"
Thanks

I think he was misinformed on the 2001. Just ask Won and I.

me too


i have not had any problems with my motor to speak of---runs great--starts everytime with no smoke---


GET IT---YOU WILL LOVE IT

I never heard any such rumors, Mines been ok, a few minor problems but never blown up. The problems were with the early ficth 150 and 175's

Welcome to the BBC.

Your dealer is incorrect, the 2001 motors were very good motors, to bad for OMC, to little to late. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

Thanks for your help as I was holding off on making the deal but just contacted the dealer of the 2001 and he is adding 90 days coverage on the motor .

Thanks Again!
