AFAIK Opti's are all direct injection no carbs. Basically its worth what people are prepared to pay, if it was in good condition I would say about 5k.

IMHO your boat will be overpowered with a 175 and it will drink fuel, the 150 on mine is a bit of overkill not too many chances for me to do 80km/h

I got 4.2 for an '85 115 hp yami off ebay last year. Thats top dollar so it can depend on how you sell it.
Trade in will be low as they like to sell them at a profit and have to provide some sort of warranty. If you provide a mechanics report and get two people who want it then ebay can be tops.

Mine looks better and catches more fish ;D
Webster says 250 but mine has 200 on the plate. Also thats 200 old timey horsepower. The 150 I have would be around a 185hp in old timey horsepower and it gets up and goes.
