‘This summer I purchased a used 1999 228 with a Yamaha 225 efi like the one you are looking at minus the hardtop. The 225 will push it 43mph and cruise around 28-30mph with a 3 blade prop. I changed my prop to a 4 blade PowerTech 15pitch and it’s a huge improvement hole shot is amazing and you can plane around 18mph top end 41mph. Ask if the gas tanks are original that boat has 2 gas tanks notice the 2 fills. Ask for a list of things that have been updated on the boat include hoses in the list. Like Lucky said get it surveyed. These boats are well made my boat is solid all around. Same as Lucky, I’ll be happy to show you my boat I’m in San Jose just send me a pm.
