| Suzuki would be my first choice, but assuming you are going to pick one of these two, it's Honda without question.
The Honda might weigh a little bit more, but they have a great record of reliability. Can't quite say that about the E-Tec yet.

Location: Pelican Rapids, MN | I run an E-tec and love it - The Honda's are sweet but their heavier and more pricey. My vote is E-Tec all the way! |

| I have owned a 90 hp Honda for 6 years. It's a 2000 model year and except for a water pump and a small problem with shifter arm on the tiller handle I haven't had any problems. I chaulk both of those up as maintence anyway. I would buy another Honda if I was in the market. I agree with TopWalker thu the Suzuki's I have been around are pretty sweet. |

| i run a 225 e-tec. I absolutly love it. I reccomend it in all motor sizes. But honda makes a very good motor also, especially in the lower h.p. like a 90 |

| My 2008 150 E-TEC blew a powerhead at 18hrs. I would buy a Yamaha if I had it to do over again.

Location: Houlton, WI | Go with the etec, i have a 225 etec on my ranger 619vs. They have amazing torque and handle great. They are more fuel efficient then hondas and need way less matinesnes. And it cost less t winterize a etec then a honda. |
