in fairness to the guy i believed it was around the age of '99 he had indicated and i phoned up just to check it was not a 98 and got the info it was a 95, shock horror. However the guy is a nice guy and i dont think he was out to rob or anything and i think he believed it was a 99 but may not have checked up like i did. so my view is that if it is 10 yrs old it is worth a lot less than a 99 model, am i being unfair or realistic?
cheers

I was going to offer you the same! I know the boat and the owner, nice package but not as fast as you might think, seems to be a good price though.

Blimey, that's a revelation. Today we compared consumption between 3 X 225 Opti's and a 250 Etec, and the consumption came out pretty much the same, with the Opti's probably slightly ahead (better).

my friend in scotland has a 200 opti and his fuel consumption was around the same 2.5ltrs per mile but I'am pushing a much bigger boat dont know if thats the effect of a more efficient hull any ideas on how much the fuel consumption will drop with a 23" prop fitted

200 what, pray? Whatever, it's a reasonably good consumption, assuming 2 stroke?

Yer cain't argue with that. If I'm v careful I can average 1.50-1.75 litres per mile with my 225 Opti. If I'm a bit heavy handed we're looking 2 litres pm. Bearing in mind I don't pull max rpm @ WOT, this could get v thirsty indeed! Nothing could beat my 200 Suzi though - 180 litres per hour @ WOT! This equated to 50 knots = 3.5 litres pm. Ouch!
Etec seems to reward light hands on the throttle, but punishes you quite severely for bruised knuckle driving!
