They all are good motors, but the Merc Opti is the best motor value out there right now. The only thing another motor may have on it is quiet. But that is not to say the Opti's are loud. I rmember when the EFI's came out. Everyone was saying how tough they sounded. When Yamaha, Honda, and BRP were not gaining market share on Mercury, they started the quiet campaign. I'll take performance over quiet anyday!

Best hole shot, midrange and top-end performance. More fuel efficient, and as reliable a motor as you will find. Now that is an amazing motor. Fast enough isn't amazing. Good enough hole-shot isn't amazing. really good fuel mileage isn't amazing. The Opti is truly amazing. Two stroke power, and better than 4 stroke economy.
