Lon my 15HO etec is rigged right to the gas and oil tanks so no pre-mix is required.

One thing to consider if you fish regularly in sub freezing temps.... after having my bow mount bracket ice up a few times I started using my kicker for boat control on super cold days...old school. In that situation a tiller is way better and for me it is the only way I would have one. The thing I liked the best about the Etec was the fuel injection...it started very well on cold days...not something the carbed 4 stroke mtrs I have had previously did very well. The 15ho would push my 621 to just over 7mph with the factory setup.

Apples Oranges and Grapes so figure out how you want to use it, the setup you prefer and how much weight etc is a factor for you....some boats handle weight better than others.
