Research 2013 - Duckworth Boats - Advantage Inboard Sportjet 18

~How Can 2000 Pounds and 200 Horsepower Perform So Gracefully Together?

There's another economical choice to power the popular Advantage Inboard: the 200 HP OptiMax SportJet from Mercury. The OptiMax SportJet reduces the overall weight by nearly 400 pounds, enabling the vessel to jump into action without hesitation. The 200 OptiMax power plant offers Mercury's award-winning two-stroke Direct Injection fuel system, with instant turn-key starting , no-smoke operation and outstanding fuel economy. And, it's self-draining so cold weather usage and storage isn't a concern. The patented Hydro-surge inlet screen clears weeds and grass from the intake without turning off the engine, and large volume mufflers provide even more power with less noise. It's an entirely new way to move the 18' Advantage in an affordable direction.
