I've made many changes/upgrades over the last 8 yrs and will probably make a few more as time goes by. It had 260hrs on the 225 Opti and now has 592. So far, no major motor work needed. But I do service it when due. I keep looking at newer used boats, but then I'd have to make too many changes to make it the way I want it. SO, I'll probably just hang a new, or maybe even a slightly used 4-stroke on it when the Opti gives out !!
