Bit the bullet on motor

[THEFERMANATOR]

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.
