Location: MN | I had a 2006 Etec 60hp tiller which I bought used with 112 hours and ran it till ~400hrs. The first couple years (less than 200hrs) it needed a new starter, new powerhead, new oil reservoir, and new BRP relay; my boat was in the shop too much. After this first round of gremlins were resolved I didn't have issues with the engine. Evinrude was good to deal with. The technology is excellent, lots of power, easy on gas, and quiet. I spent many years being negative on the engine/brand but would consider buying a newer one today, sure hope that 10 years later they worked out the bugs. If you buy used absolutely make sure the 3 year or 300 hour (whichever comes first) service work has been done.
