This is a 06 with matching year opti 115. I took a quick ride in it after we welded the small hole in the keel. The transom looks 95 percent good but there is some rot starting on the passenger side underneath the foam. That will be dealt with this winter. Looked like water / rain would get trapped in that corner and couldn’t get out. But besides the welded cap, the transom is pretty simple to get at. The entire back deck comes off in 20 minutes. I can hang on the motor and the transom has 0 flex so I’m not worried about it this year.
As for the double bubble, I’m not crazy about the dual counsel, but I don’t hate it. The room in the 1850 is awesome. Feel like I can have a party in that thing. I’m looking forward to fishing out of it. The opti, is clean as clean gets. Under the hood is very nice, and she purrs like a kitten. Our quick test run we hit 39, and still had a little more. But with out the tach hooked i didn’t want to hit wot. It has a 4 blade prop on it now and want to see how it does when loaded down and full of fuel.
Only bad part is the center rod holder has 2 rows, top is max 7ft, bottom is 6ft. I have to take the front deck off and cut the wall inside to allow rods up to at least 7ft 6. Other then that, it was a bit of a project but the price was right.
like stuff you didnt need to put it back together that the manufacturer needed!!!!
