congratulations on your purchase
 I personally think the optimax is the the best two stroke on the market. They have excellent fuel economy and tons of power. the smartcraft guages give loads of info. and they have a troll control feature that locks the engine at a desired trolling speed reguardless of conditions. in the event you ever need warranty work Mercury is an absolute pleasure to deal with. the towboat I drive has a 225 opti. it has 392 hours on it and its not even two seasons old yet.

If you got all of that for $11K it sounds like you stole it. Down here just the engine will fetch $10K-$11K, let alone the SMARTCRAFT tach and controls plus the $1K SEASTAR system. And as far as economy goes, the OPTIMAX wins hands down. The new ETECS are good, but many have said they don't do as good as the older FICHTS did and can't hold a candle to the OPTIMAX. Plus the 150 is built on the 2.5L platform that MERC has used for YEARS and is said to be the most economical OPTI they produce.
