Iam repowering my boat…bought new in April, 2002. Have two Optimax motors available within the next three to four weeks…old ones off, new ones on at dealership in Murrells Inlet. Both are 25 inch shaft, one standard and one counter-rotating. Standard motor runs like a top…counter rotator quit last trip and have not had it to the dealership for diagnostics. They have high hours and like I said ran great until this last trip. Iam repowering because Mercury has a Five year warranty deal going and I rack up the hours usually trolling the bluewater around the GTH or the Scarp. Love Mercs and feel its just time given the long trips we make. I will make someone a good deal on one or both (without props) to be picked up in Murrells Inlet at the dealership when the boat is in for repowering. Reelmaloy@gmail.com ; if interested.
