Optimax, Who runs one?

[Marshrat]

I have a 225 and a 90.

My 90 hp (tiller handle) is used for hunting and running my crab traps, the only problems I had was broke an oil line for the compressor(warrantied) and had the wiring harness short out. It is still going strong and gets great fuel mileage.

My 225 gets used about 3 times a week and is great on fuel. I run it to my camp which is about a 30 minute run one way and burns about 4 gallons round trip. A fellow at another camp sold his 200 optimax to my cousin, because the run from his house to the camp he would burn about 7 gallons of gas so he bought a 200 4 stroke Yamaha to save gas. His Yamaha burns about 6 gallons for the same trip.
