Thread: 5 cylinder 225 Optimax for sale

Not trying to kill Mo's sale but it wont push it, too much boat for the 150 loaded the way we load em. WBs boat and bigger and heavier than mine and going to the 200 made a heck of a difference in mine.

Maybe if he slowed down he wouldn't have these motor problems?
I aced my sales classes in college BTW. Reprop with a 4 blade, give up some top end for torque, and still come out cheaper than fixing yours.

But really, going from a 225 to a 150 would be like goin from a mustang to a pinto. Just letting you know it was out there

Mo, ifn you sho him a video of it throwing a rooster tail 200 foot long he would be all over it!!!!!

Mine is rated for 285. Now, if you had 2 of them bitty 150s, we might could talk.

I'm either sticking with a 225, or going to a 250. Depends on the motor I'm able to find.

Windknit, that's a beast of a motor, but those modded up jobs are better suites for a race hull, not a cruiser like mine.

If money was no object, I'd go with a straight 4 stroke Yammy. I'd gladly give up 5 years of go fast for 10 years of reliably and fuel economy. Trouble is, ya just can't find em with 20" mids unless you go new. Looks like I'll probably stick with a merc Opti or pro xs unless I find an hpdi I just can't live without and at a price where I could swing the cost of controls tank and prop.

Tightwad .

Wannabe,
I dont know if you are interested but a guy has an 04 225 Optimax for sale posted in the classifieds over on the Bullnettle news forum. Just thought I would let you know....

Always remember, it doesn't cost more to go first class, just puts you further behind.......
