If money is a issue then keep looking! I have a friend that just bought a 2001 Merc 4 stroke 90 hp with 100 hours with all controls and tac for $2500
There are lots of deals out there!! I bought a 1989 Evinrude 225 HP looper for $800 with all control's and this thing is a dream! I have no problem taking the boat off shore with it.
But I know 3 guys that just bought E-Tec and love them!! And if I was to go new that would be the way to go!!
Just be sure were ever you go they know there stuff!! There have been more then a few E-Tec's blown up cause of dealer mess up during the install, they all have to be set up with a laptop and if not set right they will Blow, Good New E-Tec stands right by them and replaces the power heads fast!!
Good Luck!!
