The particular unit I'm looking at is an '00 Yamaha 100hp.

What's going on with the Optimax?
I'm not a Merc fan, so I can't say I'm surprised
at some news of problems.

probably more reliable because it's nothing new and fewer parts,

There are enough Optimax owners for a class action lawsuit that disagree
with that statement.

Who knows on the rest. It, like anything, depends on the specific model
and
manufacturer. If I were gungho for a 4 stroke I'ld look real hard at
Honda.
Aren't many MFGs who make a better lower maintenacne motor than Honda.

My next boat will probably be a lot slower than my currrent one, but Honda
will definitely be one of my seriously considered motors. The major
negative to them for me is having a local service dealer I trust.
