Location: Contrarian Island | imo you are rolling the dice with any motor that is that old...whether it's a Merc EFI or Opti or even Yamaha...they all can go boom...my 2000 EFI went boom.... when buying a boat w a motor that old I would have it looked at by a good mechanic first, check the compression etc... regardless...if / when they go boom you might be stuck rebuilding or repowering....
as Jon said, I have heard the best thing for the old Opti's is to make sure you warm them up for at least 5 minutes before hittin it....
