The older 1998- 2001 fichts had many problems, they were junk. I had a 2000 that came with the boat when I bought it. Just before buying it the previeous owner blew the engine just before I was buying the boat. He had it rebuilt under warranty. When I got the boat and put 25 hrs. on the engine it blew again. Bombardier were the new owners and they sent me a free powerhead, which they did not have to do since the warranty only went to the first owner. As soon as the boat mechanic finished installing the new powerhead I traded for the etec

Here is what I know. Both were Etec 250s. Both had the powerhead blow up (not sure of anymore than that) Both were replaced free of charge.
I certainly am not saying that the Etec is a bad motor. I just thought I'd state of something I know of that happened. I am a Yami owner second time and I have had no problems with my 90 and now a 115. Both 4 stroke.
