I own a 2012 Opti 150 XS. I purchased this used boat in February of 2015. It had 450 hours on it when I bought it. Got it serviced after I bought it and they scoped the cylinders, checked compression etc. When they do hours on newer motors the computer breaks it down in RPM Ranges. 80% of my hours were in the 0 to 1,500 RPM range. Mechanic said lower RPM's on 2 strokes are worse than higher RPM's. Cylinders showed it with carbon build up so he instructed me to run the boat as much as possible in the 5,000 to 5,500 which for me is hard because most lakes near me are smaller and I do not like going 65 MPH in a boat. So far motor has run good but I feel like i'm sitting in a ticking time bomb every time on the water.
