Thanks, this is the kind of reply I've been looking for.

I was going to get an OptiMax 225 with the DTS as the DTS is $1,500 extra for the fly by wire but I want it because it is just such a sweet setup from all that I've heard and read about.

I know that the Verado is heavy, about 650lbs compared to the 225/250 OptiMax @ 500 but as my boat is rated at 350hp and for twins, the extra 150lbs should be no issue.

I like the quietness as I have heard that they are just whisper quiet at idle and at cruising/4000 all one can hear is wind and water, after all I'll have a full transom as well as a bracket 2 1/2 feet out, I won't even know I'm running I'll bet.

I'm psyched for May. I'll be sure to be posting pics and my own reviews then.
