    optimax

    I have a 2005 200hp optimax on my 22 Bay boat. Boat runs excellent, but I WANT MORE. Boat has a good holeshot and runs about 47mph on gps. Currently running a 19P tempest plus, bone stock optimax, tabs, & jack plate. Where to from here? Simon motorsports says they can turn a 200hp into 250hp, anybody do this? What kind of performance gains would that get me as far as top speed, holeshot, economy, & reliability? Any input greatly appreciated.

    How much would it cost for that extra 50hp vs goin out and buyin a 250-300xs? Optimax technology seems to be a clear leader in DFI, just take a look at this years Rouen results
