Location: Waukesha, WI | what's better, 200HP at the high end of a 4 cylinder or low end of a 6? The 6 cylinder is heavier by better than a hundred pounds. From weight alone, the 4 cylinder could have the upper hand, but waiting to hear your thoughts.
Can anyone ballpark the difference in cost between the Optimax and Verado? Could DTS eliminate the need for a separate kicker motor or perhaps a Verado better at low end trolling? Put another way, is there a 200HP motor that could eliminate the need for a kicker and be cheaper or about the same price (maintaining/winterizing two motors doesn't sound appealing, but I'd do it if it makes the most sense)?
TIA, Mike |
