[QUOTE=RidgeRunner;149420]Those were the early model Opti's, the newer ones are supposed to be even better. I think 3500 to 4000 is the sweet spot on MPG. Sorry for the passing of a fishin buddy, that sucks. I wonder what repairs he had to make, 2000 hours is a lot.
Like I mentioned, he maintained those motors well during the time he had them...the only repair I recall was on one of them an internal seal failed and allowed water into the motor...he realized it right away and had the seal replaced...no problems after that..
Spare...that was Nick, the guy with me the day I came by the docks and picked up the trim tabs I got from you...he's on the left in this pic I took in better days out in the Stream aboard Phat Kat...
