Oh crap, Cy is gone....AGAIN!

good luck. The e-tec will be the better buy i'm guessing. looking forward to your pain. :)

again? what the hell does that mean? i have been out of the office on vacation since wednesday the 20th. and i rarely check this site let alone get on the computer while at home at all. sorry boys i will pay more attention from now on. I dont want you to start calling me Hammer or anything:nut:

Congrats!! But E-Tec is Evinrude I thought?? Good Luck with what ever you get!!

E-tec or Yammaha MJ
I got the aproval from the bank and the 90hp Etec, Controlls,Digital Tac/Alarms/prop and every other odd and end,6 year warranty,$150.00 gas card, plus install comes in around $9,500.00...
Pulling the triger tomorrow..... Boy do I need a drink:beer::beer:

whats the monthly payments on that?? Not trying to be nosy but I was thinking of doing something like that next year? But I have to go with a 225 hp at least. So I will pay cash and payments on some, maybe?

Good Luck

5 year is like 160ish and 10 year is like 105ish....

Congrats Sean!! You should be able to get $700 - $1000 for that old merc. That'll take care of a few months of etec bills.

You and me too pal. My '86 Yamaha is original to the boat and while it runs strong and pushes the boat pretty well I know my shift rod is on borrowed time and the fact that it only drinks premium gas got me thinking. The current motor is rated @220HP so I'd be in the market for a 225-300HP. Weight isn't a concer for me as the Sportsman 250 was shipped from the factory with up to twin I/O's in the rear.

Anybody got a handle on real world pricing on motors in this range? For some reason a Suzuki 250HP or 300HP catches my fancy. Any ideas what new controls etc. add to the total cost?

I have a 89 225 Evinrude, runs great and the suzy's are the best price, but not sure on the best bang for the buck? Weight for me also is no problem, I run 23 Sea Ox
