Location: Davenport, IA | They're both great motors. It depends what you want out of it. Optimax will probably be a little less maintenance. (no oil changes) Optimax will be quicker, faster and lighter. The Yamaha would be quieter and able to run slower more easily. Although the optimax gets better fuel mileage, the yamaha may cost less to fill up because you wont' be paying for all that oil that is really getting expensive. For me it would be an Optimax, but there is a reason that all these motor manufacturers are able to stay in business...people like all of them for different reasons. |
