| Repowered the 115 Faststrike on my 681 with a 115 Etec a few weeks ago. I didn't want to put down big bucks on a new motor, but I love the boat and plan on keeping it a long time and the ol' Johnson was so cantankerous and unreliable that I didn't have much choice. The last straw was when I towed it across two states for a family vacation and the motor wouldn't start despite every trick in the book...spent the whole week with just a trolling motor. Just got back from Vermilion and it was pretty apparent that the repower was the right move. The reliability and just overall improved performance was amazing (and a far corner of Vermilion is not a fun place to have motor issues). Its so nice to have confidence in your rig making it back to the dock. I say, if you love your boat and truly intend to keep it, repower is the way to go.
