Asking for a friend who is looking at a used boat. No idea on how many hours but are these reliable motors? Did they ever make an Opti in a 135hp? It is on a 2000 Nitro nx882, is there anything he should be weary of?

I have a 2005 Merc. 135 Optimax. I have had it a little over a year now, so far it's been a good motor. No complaints .
