? '07 225 OR '03 2.5Lt. on a '05 21' BR

[99malibu]

Question for all viewers,

Buying a new '05 Pulsare br from a dealer (leftover),he has a new '03 2.5Lt he can sell me for close to the same price as a new '07 Optimax 225 ,the question that I have is I still want to ski behind my boat , is the 2.5 Lt. going to less comperable to pull a skier being more of a performance motor ? also having 1 year less on the warrenty, I love the speed runs ,but I also love to ski , some input from outboard lovers here would help me greatly, I previously owned a Malibu Response and have been away from the outboards for 5 - 7 years.

Thanks 99Malibu

buy the opti, its a better engine for your needs - you will not enjoy the 2.5 as much. i wouldn't want to buy something "new" that's been sitting around for at least 4 years.

Go for the big opti

I agree with Chris, but I would get the 225ProXS....Sweet motor.

I am biased "Get the 225pro XS" The 3l blocks work much better on the 2100 than any 2.5 not to mention the Gas savings of the opti

Thanks for all the help gang, I have ordered the 225 OPTIMAX, it was offered with a 2 year factory extension warrenty for a $ 1.00 per H.P. more, 5 years total,

CAN'T WAIT TO RECIEVE IT AND HIT THE LAKES

THANKS AGAIN 99MALIBU
