17K when your all done for old technology (etec)? Out of the big four manufacturers Yamaha, Merc, Suzuki, Evinrude is the only one calling it the future? Thats a lot of money for something many already don't want on their transom. Just thinking resale. All of the injected two strokes run great and deliver better power than the 4's no doubt. I own three HPDI 200's with a cumulative of 1200 hours of absolutely flawless running time but on resale everybody wants 4's. I am going to get beat up here but just thought I'd my $.02.

Not sure I understand your point. Are you considering the ETEC to be old technology? Hardly, it represents the 3rd generation of Direct Fuel Injected 2-stroke engines.

1st generation (1997-2001): Mercury OptiMax, OMC FICHT

2nd Generation (2002-2004): Mercury Digital OptiMax, Bombardier FICHT RAM, Yamaha HPDI, Nissan/Tohatsu TLDI

3rd Generation (2005+): Bombardier ETEC

Or are you saying that all 2-stroke engines are old technology? I also run a HPDI engine and it has been flawless. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another DFI 2-stroke engine in the future.
