you will love the etec....quiet, great on fuel/oil and so trouble free. i put a 150 on my 21' walkaround and light load 2 people i get 40 knots on flat clam days, loaded to the hilt with gear 3-4 guys ice and fuel it will still run mid to upper 30's but i will usually cruise around 23-26 knots loaded around 4100-4300 rpms

It is good to hear about everyone's positive experiences with the Etec.
I had a choice of any engine and found it sort of like the Mac or PC debate, in this case Etec being the Mac.
I chose the Etec based on simplicity of mechanical design(2stroke vs. 4 stroke, less moving parts etc), less maintenance requirements and torque. Time will tell.

Looks like I am picking her up this afternoon from the builder.
