3 sec holeshot with a four stroke on a bay boat that size is impressive.

All newer motors have there own problems,period. Good thing is they come with a great warranty. Mercury is scratching there heads trying to make something to compare to this engine.

The only reason the OPTI Obama Max is on the market is because it is a cheaply priced motor and due to the weight. A Yamaha 150 four stroke cost more than the the Obama-Max 200 Hp. Also, you can put it on boats that you could not put conventional strokes based on the same HP due to the weight of the motor. With all things now equal,+maybe+besides+price+why+go+with+a+2+stroke+ over+a+4+stroke.++I+bet+the+Opti+Obamas+have+recen tly+dropped+in+price....LOL....

I disagree,optimax is a great motor even though I prefer yamaha. We see wildlife and fisheries opti's with ALOT of hours still running great. I will run a carb 2 stroke as long as possible,most reliable.

Not saying the OptiBama is a bad motor.....just stating the fact of why you see them.......in the end if the 2 motors are priced closed to the same......which one would you pick????? I will not lie, I have an Aluminun bay boat only because I wanted a 22' foot boat......with tax new I paid 28K. You will not pick up a 22' glass+boat+new+for+less+than+36k+or+more........++

You could have found a super clean used glass boat for 28k.

I had a similar problem......maybe yours could be the same.

When my house was ~ 3 years old.......we found lots of mildue on the bottom of the bathroom cabinet. I took the cabinet out and took the sheet rock off the wall.

What I found was that this is where the main water pipe came up from under the slab and then tee'd off to each bathroom, kitchen, etc.

But what caused my water leak, was the sheet rock installation. When the sheet rock was installed [~ 3 years eariler] one of the screws missed the 2x6 board and hit one of the copper water pipes and damaged the pipe. Why it took so long to "show up" is a mystery. This leak was more of a slow drip that did it's damage over a period of time.
