Location: Winnipeg Manitoba | I'm buying a new boat package and the dealer is offering a 40 horse E-tec or a 50 horse 4 stroke. He says the perfomance will be about the same. He hasn't said what make the 4-stroke would be but he deals in OMC and yamaha. Any suggestions? | |

| Your dealer should have an E-Tec book, about 3"x5" showing all data and comparisons. Had a chance to go through one yesterday. I was thinking E-Tec before, now I'm convinced.
YMMV.

Location: St. Louis, MO., Marco Is., FL, Nestor Falls, ON | Spent time on Friday with Eric Olsen (pro walleye fisherman) who was at the Miami Boat Show. He was there on Evinrude's behalf. We talked quite a while about 4 strokes, 2 strokes and E-Tec motors. He made a convincing argument for the new E-tec motors. They produce more actual horsepower than their rating as opposed to most 4 strokes that produce up to 10% less than advertised. The no break-in period, 3 year warranty, no service for 3 years or 300 hours, fuel economy and environmental features convinced me. In addition, until April 15th, they are offering a 7 year warranty free if purchased through participating dealers. Check with your dealer to see about the deal.
