Well thats my boat your talking about.
I personally think it is in great shape, fluids changed every 20 hours and meticulously maintained.
Never stored outside and I have been the only captain behind the wheel since it came from Fountain.
Yes it has been stored for 2 years, serviced and winterized in a climate controlled shop.
I would think worse things could happen to a Fountain in 2 year's time.
If it's that big of a deal, I'll go run it this weekend...
I have not had a reason to break open the factory sealed HP525 yet, has been great all along and always been a great boat for me.
Is 250 hours a lot for a 2004? Not in my mind, my 2006 Grady White has 1100 hours on it, all done by me.
I don't care if I sell it or not which is why I have not advertised it, I like it - they're great boats....
Anyway - its all good, good luck finding your new boat.

i know of a cig tiger with almost 500 hours on the ticker. 525's just pulled this spring for a check up. really wasnt a reason to pull them once they got opened up. not to say every motor is the same tho.
