Hello All!<br /><br />Please share your knowledge and experience, I would love to here your thoughts on the following comparison. I will be purchasing a Princecraft Pro 198 (New Tournament Walleye Boat) and I have yet to determine what power to select. The Max power rating is 200hp and ideally that is what I would like to buy. However several years ago the big block Optimax motors (200, 225 etc.) appeared to have more problems than the 2.5L motors (150, 175). Hopefully the durability issues have been worked out but I am looking for your input on this subject. So 175 or 200 Optimax, which is more reliable?<br /><br />Thanking you in advance,<br /><br />SBC
