Opti -- all the way
Hi
In terms of which fuel delivery system makes the better jet outboard - the OptiMax wins hands down. It is lighter and has more torque -- better overall performance.

Sounds Underpowered
I agree with the previous posters -- that is a lot of weight and boat for a 60-horse. I'm sure there's more weight in the boat than what you have listed as well -- like fuel, livewells, etc?
