    2000 135hp Optimax?

    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?

    Yes they did. Built on the tried-and-true 2.5L V-6 Platform.

    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 .
