Hello all,<br />I have just replaced an old worn out Force 150 with a new 150 Optimax. The folks at the shop have given me a pretty good run down and I have also driven a similar boat to mine with the Opti on it. I was surprised at the noise as it seemed to be louder than I had expected. I get my boat back on Tuesday and will be on the lake this weekend breaking it in. Any things that you all have experienced, as well as anythign to look for would be appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Deerdog
