Re: Mercury OptiMax vs Evinrude E-Tech
jasonbailey,
Thank you for your help.
Installation of the Optimax is included for the price I mention ($6,500). Its a new purchase even thought the pontoon is a 2007. The motor is a show engine as I mentioned. I understand what youve stated that your purchase was "new." Thank you for that understanding.
Im still mildly considering the 90 hp E-Tec ($7,500), but no one has given me a reason to stay away from an Optimax, which for a grand less, is a considerable savings. I know the issue of warranty that the E-Tec carries.
Ive seen negatives on the Optimax in other venues online by 2-3 posters - nothing more.
Absent a reputable boat mechanic or long time boater negative posting to my posting, Im 80 percent sure Ill go with the Optimax on Thursday.
Looking forward to a nice summer of boating.
