Default Verado v Optimax

Tom,

Who now is offering new boats rigged with ETECs?

I'm still happy with my 99 115 FICHT but am kinda sorta almost in the market
for an 18 foot or so boat for 99% inshore 1% offshore fishing with two to
three companions.

Anybody hava an opinion on these two engines. I may be making a boat
purchase soon and have an option on these two models.

Any help is appreciated.


dont get the verado - heavy and its a fuel pig. not to mention that
the supercharging is a joke - optimax engines beat the snot out of
verados in side-by-side tests for speed, hole shots, etc.

optimax is reasonably better in fuel efficiency, weight and power.

buy a boat with etecs - lighter, faster, more efficient.
