[QUOTE="GET THE NET, post: 322180, member: 5182"] Any Optimax Gurus on here? I have a 2006 200 HP Optimax. Less than 250 hours on it. On Saturday I got the boat in the water for the 1st time this year. I did start it in the yard a couple weeks ago with the muffs and it started right up and idled fine. Put the boat in Saturday and it started right up again. Idled great will I waited for my partner to park the truck. We weren't fishing far from the ramp so I didn't open it up and get up on plane. We fished for a while then decided to go up river. Started the motor and pushed the throttle and it wouldn't get out of hole. It wouldn't get above 2500 RPM. Wasn't sputtering or anything, it just seemed bogged down. But after a minute or 2 it would try to rev up but then it would stay right around 2500 RPM. And I'm not 100% sure it was right at that exact RPM I'm just guessing. I put it in neutral and it would rev up just fine. So I put it back in gear and it did the same thing. I couldn't get up on plane. I plowed water for a while then all of the sudden she took off and I shot out of the hole like normal. I cruised for a couple 100 yards and then stopped and tried again. It was bogged down again but then took off and ran fine. I had to get going home so I couldn't keep running and I'm sure I was pissing some people off so I apologize if I rocked your boat. I always run premium gasoline and the gas wasn't that old. I think I topped it off in December or January. I did put Stabil in when I put it away last season but I didn't run the engine afterwards which I usually do but it was too cold outside. Could it be a fuel issue? I would think it would run rough at idle too. I need to get back out and run it some more and see if it will straighten out. Thought I'd check on here to see if anyone had experience with Optis.
