Why not look into a Suzuki? Cheaper than the yamaha by a few grand and there awesome engines. You see lots of commercial/guides using them now and everyone I know/ever talked to who has them has had 0 problems what so ever. I know if I was buying a new engine I'd get the zuke over yamaha. If its only between the two you mentioned then definitely the yamaha.

I think the e-tec is Evinrude only and the Johnson badge is gone. As far as 4-stroke vs e-tec it depends on your boat and the difference in weight between the two. I have a 90hp Honda and all I have done in 11 years is plugs a couple of times, oil changes, gearcase oil and then pour gas in it.

Evinrude is having some kind of sale until labor day.
