Eric,

Get ahold of Shep from the board he runs a 135 Opti and far as I know is very happy with it. Any direct inject motor (opti, ficht, HPDI) will give you 30-35% fuel savings over carburated and about 15% better than EFI's.

Nice thing about an Opti...you can take it to mechanic and have them plug the motor into their computer and it will tell you how the motor has been run...I.e. Time on engine, maximum RPM, time at those RPM's etc. Well worth the price if your considering a used rig.

Newer 681's have different hull than older models, little better ride, longer rod storage. They're a little short on storage but for most applications will serve you well. If you don't need the livewell, plug the intake and you can use it for extra dry storage.
