    200 Etec vs 200 Opti

    Anyone here ever run the same boat head to head with a Etec vs Opti in the 200 Class, if so how was the holeshot, midrange and top end?

    Doug Mcgee did , and played with different props on the boats the same day for different test results . The boats were all the same 19 ft champion with a 200 e tec ho , opti , and a Merc EFI . The HO was 3 mph faster than the opti , and 2 mph faster than the EFI . Im not 100 % sure of these numbers the e tec may have been 4 mph faster than the opti but it was the fastest for sure .
