I am looking at possibly purchasing a used boat with two 1999 200 optimax OB's and i have heard that there were some problems with the earily opti's. These motors only have 90 hours on them. What should I look out for? Are any of you running 1999 opti's and if so have they been good or have you had problems?
Any help would be greatful!

Thanks for the replies, I have decided not to pursue the purchase of the boat with the opitmax’s. I did a test ride and was not happy with the way the boat handled. Maybe it was for the best anyway do to the reputation these motors have. I am now looking at something with a v-8 inboard, hopefully it will turn out ok.
