Oh, I’m curious enough just not what I was hoping to see and I do struggle with the looks. The door on the top to check oil is interesting for sure. I think you mentioned the new 150 has some improved low speed charging, if I recall. Do these have that as well. Seems like that would be handy for those of us that idle and image a lot but don’t spend nearly as much time on plane.
As much as I’d like a 175 fourtroke on my boat it will be nearly impossible for me to justify getting rid of a perfect functional Optimax. Especially since I’ll only keep the boat about 5 more years at the most. If I buy a new outboard in that time it will be on the transom of a duck boat.
