Any opinions on the new Evinrude E-TEC 2-stroke motor? I read Evinrudes ad and sounds pretty good but then again it was an ad by Evinrude. No breakin period, it winterizes its self and no maintainence for 3yrs not even gear lube.

sounds like it will be a great motor. Will be in the 40-90 HP range. Eventually all the Ficht's will be converted, even the big dogs.
I love my 200 Ficht H.O. as it is, but if they can build a better mouse trap...bring it on.

Haven't read any non-biased reviews; however it sure sounds promising.

My only complaint - Ficht sounds much more cool than E-Tec!

Ficht sounds like a nightmare to me. But I know they fixed alot of the problems, and the E-Tech looks like a great motor. Can't wait to see it in a bigger block. Till then I'll run my Yamaha... Evinrude will come back strong I'm sure, and I'll be happy to see it.

Good fishin',
