| What is on the boat now? 175 Merc? Less rigging for the Opti.
TC, the big block Opti's had a problem back prior to 2002. They've been very good motors since then.
We're talking the smallblock motor here, and they have been virtually flawless since the first of them came out. Easy on fuel and oil, lighter than the Suzuki, and way better performance from holeshot to WOT. Yes they are a bit louder, with that famous Opti growl. I remember when the first EFI's came out, Everybody loved the crackling at idle, and the throaty sound of power. Then a couple quiet 4 strokes came out, and now everybody wants to be able to whisper at WOT! I want know my motor is running!
Suzuki makes a good motor, but I'll take the 175 Opti for overall performance in a very reliable motor everytime. | |
