You'll need to have the tanks fabricated at a location close to you (preferably). Use the old tanks as a model for the new.

I'm as big of a Yamaha outboard fan as you will likely find .... but I've also had to replace 4 dry-exhaust midsections on 4 different F225 outboards all manufactured in the 2002-2006 time frame. All of mine looked similar to the OP's with deteriorated aluminum alloy. I was under the (false)...

Scam. Scam. Scam

Typically not unless you can get it 3ft from all the different pumps that are in there.

You can mount it anyplace that you like as long as it's at least 3ft away from any battery, speaker, amp, other compass, any other magnetic material including pumps of any type. If you have a question if a given location is acceptable, simply take a hand-held compass to that location. Hold...

I took the bidding on that boat up to $12k but then backed away on the last day as the bidding war started. Congratulations on winning it! Please post some additional pictures of the boat when you can.

I watched the auction and even bid on it a few times. Final sale price was just a little over $17,500. Not a bad price for a 21 DVCC with a 250 ETEC. Hopefully the motor runs fine and the hull has no issues.

I had a 2801 with a pair of F225 engines. I think the engine choice is perfect for the hull. Admittedly, when you buy a Parker, you aren't getting a "go-fast" boat .... you are getting a solid, no frills, do anything boat. It's a F250 pick-up truck of the boating world. It's not a Ferrari...

I imagine the final sales price will be $15k

Looks like Mote Marine Laboratory boats based on Long Boat Key in Sarasota County FL

The F200, 225 3.3l are non-interference engines.

A 19" prop at 600rpm generates a forward movement of 11,400"/minute or 684,00"/hour or 57,000ft/hour or 10.8 mph with 0% prop slip. All of that said, at these low speeds, a 35% prop slip is expected so your speed at 600rpm with an 19" prop is likely 7 mph without considering wind or current...

That transom fish box has an R-4 value (or something similarly small). I don't think that 100lbs of ice would last more than 4 hours in that storage box. Unless you are fishing in the winter months, you'll need a more appropriate fish icing/fish storage solution.

I'd want the beam and weight of a 23SE or larger before thinking about a tower.

Fall is a good time because this will become a several weeks. You'll actually need to disconnect the fill and discharge hose in order to remove the livewell tank from the deck of the boat...... so you should plan on replacing both hoses at this time. .

It runs from the bilge, forward under the fuel tank and up into the livewell. You'll need to unscrew the livewell from the deck to replace.

I saw no issues with a 23 DVCC and F250 other than positive benefits in helping low speed planning performance. No difference in speed, handling or fuel economy. That said, I also tried a Permatrim on a F300 and 23 DVCC ..... with the larger motor, I observed no quantitate difference in any...

Wow! Didn't see that coming. Enjoy the Edgewater.

There's no problem leaving just the AwlGrip 545 primer exposed until next year and after this fishing season is over. There is more than 1 charter boat in North Carolina who intended to Awlgrip the entire boat but got to the primer stage and was "happy-enough" with the look of just 545 primer...

AwlGrip's Course non-skid is pretty industrial. If you ever put bare skin on AwlGrip course, then you'll likely need a blood transfusion from the loss. I've used AwlGrip fine. I like it. But I have also used Rustoleum's non-skid. It's a very acceptable alternative.
