Re: Motor for 23 Sceptre
john- I put a 225 opti on my 74 Tsunami with a bracket and enclosed transom- I shopped around for an E-tec- they wanted 20k. 4 strokes were super expensive also. I bought a brand new leftover Opti with DTS controls with a 5 year warranty and couldnt be happier- boat flies out of the water- have never seen a puff of smoke from my Opti- and 3 years trouble free.DTS controls are super sweet- keep in mind that mercury has had the "cableless-fly by wire" controls the longest- so they are proven. I burn 10 gals an hour at 4000 rpm with 2 people and 75 gals fuel. Would buy another Opti in a second!!
