Ok. I was on the Evinrude/Johnson forum and ask this question about a Ficht outboard and was told to stay away... Now I'm going to ask about the Optimax outboards, I'm hearing these have been nicknamed " OptiPop" is this true? Looking at purchasing a used Bass boat, so I'm wondering what outboards to stay away from, and the years. I'm looking at Marine dealer's that have gone through the outboards and gave them a thumbs up. But I'm just not wanting an outboard that has a bad reputation. Thanks for all the help in advance!!!
