I'm buying a new boat package and the dealer is offering a 40 horse E-tec or a 50 horse 4 stroke. He says the perfomance will be about the same. He hasn't said what make the 4-stroke would be but he deals in OMC and yamaha. Any suggestions?

E-tec should be the better motor.

Your dealer should have an E-Tec book, about 3"x5" showing all data and comparisons. Had a chance to go through one yesterday. I was thinking E-Tec before, now I'm convinced.
YMMV.

Spent time on Friday with Eric Olsen (pro walleye fisherman) who was at the Miami Boat Show. He was there on Evinrude's behalf. We talked quite a while about 4 strokes, 2 strokes and E-Tec motors. He made a convincing argument for the new E-tec motors. They produce more actual horsepower than their rating as opposed to most 4 strokes that produce up to 10% less than advertised. The no break-in period, 3 year warranty, no service for 3 years or 300 hours, fuel economy and environmental features convinced me. In addition, until April 15th, they are offering a 7 year warranty free if purchased through participating dealers. Check with your dealer to see about the deal.
