As previously mentioned I had a 2000. It was a great motor but with low hours. The only part that I am aware of as being "hard to get" is the SmartCraft style gauges, they are NLA from Merc for the older Opti's. It has been that way for a while now so all of the gauges sitting on dealers shelves have been scavenged up too.. Maybe those MMax guys opinions are based on experience, maybe they know something I don't, I am just a consumer.. dealers can be biased. LOL

I keep looking at the 1999 on CL. I have the gut feeling my money is better spent on it. Plus that leaves me with enough money to get controls. But it has no warranty. Come to think of it most used motors do not come with a warranty. I asaume 650 hours is low hours. Alot to think about.

while researching what the bluewater series Optimax was i found a thread on continuous wave. The 99 /00 Optimax did not have problems like the next two years which is linked to a different supplier of major components. Not sure of the credibility of this. But the bluewater series has a stainless tilt tube.
