2006 150 Optimax $8500 (NOS)
What do you guys think? It supposedly still has a 4yr(?) warranty once installed.
I was originally targeting a '09 Suzuki DF140 but I can't find one *anywhere* :( This Optimax is local, 25" and includes controls. Thanks, Rey

$7k/obo seems like a decent deal. If it was closer to me, then I would seriously consider
it. Are you going to go for it? 2002 Yamaha 150 not working out for you? I understand that warranties are transferrable but I wonder how that works? I would think another PDI would be needed.

Yamaha is gone, she gave out on me about a month ago. Not sure on the repower as I am looking at an entire new rig. Might go look at a Grady this weekend.

Supposed to be one of the best engines out there, based on what people I know involved in boating for years tell me. And that is coming from someone who has never been a Merc fan, me.
Sounds like a good price to, how does it compare in your region, that makes a difference.

Price comparison I haven't a clue. There's not a lot of NOS being sold that I"m aware of. My search for prices shows the following:
o '09 Yamaha 25" 150 at $7k o '09 Optimax 25" 150 at $9.6k I didn't bother looking at 4-stroke prices as I figured it's apples and oranges. My readings seem to indicate that the optimax is a good motor, has more moving parts than normal and gets decent mpg. However, I wasn't really able to narrow down some of these data point the the 2006 model which is available to me. I'm hoping ferm, spare, skool and ? will also chime in with their wealth of experience with regards to this motor. :)
