Adam,
Is your motor a two or four hole intake?

JAZII

took my boat up to LEE SANDERSON at Sanderson Marine today...
WOW....
obviously wont know how his MOD works till i get it back, but did have a chance to meet LEE...incredibly nice guy, SWEET shop full of MERCS and all kinds of boats to be worked on, AND tons of AWARDS for his ALLISON drag boat competitions...

CANT WAIT TILL FRIDAY.... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif

WOW...
i am 100% satisfied and pumped....
check this out...
#1)
lee did his guaranteed mod to my 96 225 EFI....
NOW, it sounds incredible in the water...TALKS JUNK...
also, now i'm able to actually get my boat out of the water, NOT USING MY TRIM TABS....(first time ever, since getting the boat)
#2)
he talked me into doing some SKEG work on my lower unit that would keep me from BLOWING OUT every time i hit 75 on the GPS...WOW...100% fixed...
and it actually stopped almost all of the chine walk while pickin up speed...
#3)
while he was in there, he went through my motor and found like 3 major (minor) issues...
replaced a few gaskets in lower unit that were inproperly installed causing me to loose water pressure at idle...
showed me where i had a crack in my big oil reservoir causing my oil tank to not keep a prime, lowering the level in my 2nd oil reservoir on the motor...
had me replace about 12 of the individual oil lines leading from the VST to the cylinders that were ALL BRITTLE and just asking to crack...

I am 100% satisfied and will encourage anyone on the east coast to check LEE out if they're looking for some performance/maintinance help....

Thanks for the kind words Adam!!!
Glad your satisfied with the results.
It was a pleasure to meet you, your wife and the little one when you dropped it off, and to see your dad again when you and he picked it up.

Take care and keep in touch.

Fantastic! It's amazing what a difference it makes when your engine can BREATHE! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
