Very informative Steve! I've got to say that so far I love my HO. I bought the E-Tec knowing the 06' powerhead blew after 2.5 yrs and was replaced with a brand new 08' and got it with less than 60hrs on it. It took me a long time to make this decision after hearing so many horror stories but I really dug deeper and became confident on buying an E-Tec with practically a new powerhead. I've ran her hard down in Cave Run recently for 3 days straight right out of storage and she ran flawless. The prevous owner had taken such good care of the engine and followed all warranty guidelines. I also ease up on her and make sure if I notice anything out of the ordinary, she's going to the dealer. As of now, I'm under the impression that sometime long down the road I'd be completely open to purchasing another E-Tec. Thanks for providing such good information! All these outboards out today are great and I'd have no problem owning anyone of them as long as I had some sort of warranty.
