619 vs 620

[Guest]

Hi

My family is looking at buying a 2001 ranger 619 or a 620. I have heard that the 620 is front heavy and has had some troubles with nose diving into waves? Is this true? I have also heard that the 620 is slower compared to the 619. Does anybody know if this is right?, how fast does the 620 go with a 225 and the 619 with a 200. I also have one last question, I am wondering if the 2001 or 2002 optimax's (200&225) are good motors? I am wondering if they are still having any problems after mercs updates to them. So if you can help me with any of this and give your opinions, it would be appreciated.

thanks
