Looking for a very clean pair of 25" counter rotating Optimax 225s or prefer 250s. Will consider OMC or Yamaha if the deal and location are right.

Been looking on Craigs and Ebay. Where else is good to look? Google searches keep turning up websites in Indonesia, what's up with that? Fraud?

Don't have a gas station. But, If I ran 200 gallons through a Opti of the vintage he is looking at I would save $600.00 for summer in gas. Then when a compressor or some other bs on the opti from that vintage goes, I can buy a new compressor and have it installed for a pretty penny. That's if the motor does not blow. I have done a few deals with Mike over the years and was giving him my opinion on opti or efi's. :)
