Greetings: I have read hundreds of your posts but never communicated. Got a question for you. Looking at a 2013 Triton/XS with a 2011 Mercury OptiMax 250 Pro XS with 175 hours. Anything I should know or be aware of with this motor. Thanks Chuck Moore

I'm personally not a fan of the computer controlled Merc Optimax or Yamaha HPDI platforms. Once out of warranty you are basically screwed.
I know that I can't properly diagnose running issues with them, and dealerships with all the latest diagnostic software can't accurately troubleshoot them either. Some units seem to run forever without any problems, but many MANY others are a never-ending nightmare with issues while underway....and it is impossible to hang off the back of a boat and diagnose a problem that only occurs at 50-60mph. A specific Mercury ONLY tech shop complete with a dynomometer is the only place that has a shot at curing those issues. And there are darn few of those places across the country.
