Info Merc Opti 150

[willy]

Air and Ferm that is what I already did this morning, he is suggesting off the top of his head that he needs to get 7g's for the hull and 2007 dual trailer
zuki dealer wants 12600 plus tax for 150

etec all in would be approx 14500

and Yammi I am waiting to hear about

A lot of money

You can find SUZUKI 150's for $8500 plus rigging WILLY, and ETEC's pop up on EBAY for $10-12K pretty regularly. Don't fear an OPTI either WILLY. The new ones are better on fuel than any other outboard out there right now, and are known to be reliable. If you have 4-6 years of warranty, that will give you time to see if you like it or not. If it gives you problems, then there is always lemon law. I'm not downing any of the newer outboards, but they aint for me. And the ETEC is nice, but your paying a premium for that BOMBARDIER advertising. A YAMAHA F150 4 stroke though would be a good match as well.

Ferm I called around three different zuki dealers and the best price was what I posted from a smaller shop down by where I would keep the boat.
That is a rigged, propped, controls price minus NJ tax.
Where have you seen zukes for that kind of price? Inquiring minds need to know.
Also I know the newer opti's are much better but I will tell you if I could find a 150 two stroke yammi (carb) or hpdi for a good price I would prefer either, I know the fuel would be a little less efficient but I have friends with the yammi two stroke carb and they are doing very well fuel wise and problems o zip nada.
Thats why I like them, yea fuel may cost me ten to fifteen percent more a year but that reliability and the ability to work on it myself priceless

He has pretty current prices, and then you need to add in $1000-1500 for rigging and such.

I also found this one on Ebay, he claims you can rig it yourself and keep the warranty.

And I seen a 2005 YAMAHA 150 carb'd motor new in the crate sell for $6900 last week on Ebay. Lost the listing though.

willy i wished you lived closer to louisiana i could definately give you a good deal on an etec.

Thanks Ferm, and CT they are getting a premium price up here for them, whats a 150 running down your way in the land of etoufee and crawfish?

Just got off the phone with the best Yamaha dealer in NJ, nice fellow told me what to do and advised why the yammi works out as a better deal than the zuki and would do the complete package with a yammi 150F all in for 12,300
If this guy sepearates the motor and I get the hull and new trailer for 65-7g and repower I got me a very good boat for 17 with 6 year full motor warranty. Can't come anywhere that new.
Of course I also get back in good graces with the brotherhood of the V

Don't know, going to see how it all adds up, if too much I am just going to use the G Spot in the salt more than I planned.
Talked with a fellow running a 150 yammie 4 on his walkaround. Has the flow meters and such, at 28-30 cruise he is getting 3.8 and better depending on load etc. Never got less than 3.8. I think it might do better on a V not being a very deep V like his

willy you have a pm. the crawfish are big right now down here and since its after good friday you can get them for a good deal.

[willy]

I might have to head on down for a boil at my best friends 2000 acres and house in Lake Solitude, aint been down there for two years. UMMM UMMM
Maybe I pick me up and ETEC on the way back
