Wow you must've tested more outboards on the same rig than anyone in the world! Which one sounds the best? I would think this Merc 3 liter would be up there, or possibly Yamaha OX66!
Hey thanks. Yes I've tested alot over the years. I'm still partial to the Yamahaox66, the evinrude ficht or etec series, and of course the opti's for 2 strokes. Quiet and smooth. The newer 4 strokes also run well
@@sherman645 I think the Yamaha OX66 225/250 has the best sounding idle of any outboard ever! I've never been able to directly compare an OX66 with a Merc EFI throttling up though. But to me the Merc 250 EFI sounds better than the Optimax. I love the throaty note of a V6 two stroke getting out of the hole! Have you ever tried an Etec G2? Wonder how that would compare
Runs perfect 👍
