Horsehunter beat me to it!! Yes...you should most likely be able to use your existing controls for the etec, and being the phantom is more of a bass-style rig, putting one of the larger 4 strokes may not allow the boat to sit level in the water at rest.
I'd look heavy at the Etec 115 HO which is rated at 115, but I believe it will have higher output, possibly getting you a little more "umph" than the etec 115. Both will be solid motors regardless, and the big thing I think you will notice is a significant reduction with oil and fuel use, along with a motor that is very quiet while idling, but yet has a great growl while underway but not overpowering.
With the right prop set-up (A raker propeller around 20 pitch I'm guessing) will get your boat up on plane and will get your boat handling really really well...
Although the 4 strokes are great motors, I have found in my personal experience their power curve is quite even throughout the rpm range, so they are not as powerful coming out of the hole as the direct injected 2 stroke My personal preference is to be up and out quickly and the 4 strokes I felt were too slow coming out. Top end was about the same though...
Here's the link to the spec sheet for the etec.
