Pros and cons of both? Jet tiller app. I know the Opti will get better mileage, but wondering if the lower tech EFI will be more reliable in the long run. Diff in price is about $1500.00.

I have the Salt Water version of the EFI. It is the easiest starting OB I have ever had. Runs well no complaints. No expereince with the other.

I have a 2008 175 hp Opti jet tiller. I looked at the 150 hp, and decided on the 175 hp as it was about the same weight as the 150 hp. This motor is great, and has been trouble free. I bought the smart craft gauge, and dont regret the extra money. With the price of DFI oil, and fuel I felt the more efficent Opti was worth the money.
