Chip or ECU reflash? One is snake oil the other is for real and works..

Haven't seen a "chip" for an outboard other than the ones on eBay that everyone should know are total bs. Stock computers can be remapped, have re limiters raised/deleted, or you can go with a complete aftermarket ECM. Post what you want to do with your setup and someone can aim you in the right direction :)

Totally confused with the difference between the two, I have a 1999 225 ficht that redlines at 6000. I want to up the power and rev it higher without compromising the reliability. Is this possible ?

Carbs and a Yamaha ignition? Talk to a Johnnyrude guy, hopefully someone chimes in. Apparently they're decent motors when you get rid of the fuel injection...

the 99 is a 3 litre not a great motor for reliability,
The block on that motor can be bored out to a 3.3 buy some pistons from bush put on some mid bore carbs and a old style omc ignition or yamaha
You will have a great lake motor
