When I purchased my 29 sea vee new, I choose to go with the 2002 200hp opti max engines over the hpdi yamahas. I recieved the first shipment of 2002 motors in july of 2001. I could not of been happier. The motors have been perfect. I havent had a problem. The boat gets exceptional fuel economy and speed. I run them like a mad man and I dont always flush them out. Still no problems. I am currently going on 400 hrs with them now and they are still running strong. The only complient that I have is the high cost of optimax oil and that is not such a big deal.
A friend of mine has a set of the new 250 optis that you are talking about although he hasnt had them long he loves them and he hasnt had a problem with them.
