Re: V20 member with E-tec

for a 2007 175-e-tec with new gauges and throttle cables and 7 yr warranty. I have to make a monatary commitment by march 15, I can tell ya more in due time.

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Thanks MJ. I did a search for E-Tec but did not get what I needed. Thanks for keeping an eye on things! Billy Mac ;D

I've got 5 more of those things cut. Need to get some welding done.

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

LS did you ask your dealer the difference between the three 150 175 200 V6. I was told they are the same. They tune them to get the HP up. The Std 150 puts out 160 HP. I know about the warranty deadline of March 31 why the date of March 15th. I'm close too on the Std 150. What guages are you going with? Billy Mac ;D

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

billy, It was the date the dealer gave me ,,,, not sure but I did hear the same about warranty on the 31st not sure what gauges yet didnt get that into it with him yet

Now if I only could get a outboard loan as easy as a truck loan :( :'(

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Turn on the ol' MJ charm...they'll lay down and spread 'em for ya !! ;D ;D ...

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Hey REEL, sounds like these guys are coming after my title in a big way. New Etec gonna be hard to compete with. These guys are gonna get to the fish before me, with less smoke and less noise. The cool factor alone gotta be worth 3...4 fish a trip ;D

Good luck boys...I know my times a coming, that old Merc can't run for ever, can it?

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

I wonder if we can get a group discount, and then a second discount for several bought at the same time??

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

An E-Tec FLEET discount 8) ... well I bet if we walked into a dealership w/ deposit money in hand we could negotiate a better than average deal on 4 E-Tecs ;D ...

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Talk to me. We can have a weekend get together In MI and make the deals. Come on up! Billy Mac ;D

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Don't thing 4 etecs will be a group discount. Dealers looking to install 4 outboards on many boats nowadays.

Really ::) ...

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Detroit Boat Show is next week I'll be there and ask. Those boats with 4 motors should qualify for a group discount on their own. Billy Mac ;D

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Lumberslinger, I don't know if you are familar with Barnicle Bills in Delmont, NJ but they are a Bombardier dealer that has pretty good deals on Etecs from what I hear. The owner Joe is real helpful with any questions and seems like a pretty straight forward guy.

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

mulv where in relation to long beach island is delmont???

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Thanks, Mac...but by the time I got a good price and paid to ship, I might as well get it here...besides, the REALITY is, I gonna have this Honda for a while... ;) ...

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

South Jersey, I wasnt sure where you were located. Barnacle Bills post on THT as well as The Bassbarn.

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Hi,

Barnacle Bill's is on Rt. 47, south of Millville NJ. Delmont is just below Bayside Prison on 47. A very reputable dealer. I am thinking of getting a Etec for my V20 and when I do, I will go to BB Marine.

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

I may buy one just to make out with a mermaid,
like in that one video on the BB site. ;D ;)

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Here is a link to a brochure with information about the gauges. Hope it helps.

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

So it seems no one yet has an Etec. I am considering repowering with an ETEC with a bracket of cours, once my 470 merc decides to be a nuisance. Anyone have some first hand experience with the ETEC yet.

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Jackman has had his for about a week now. Go to "Performance" and read his thread about the 225 honda. What started as a honda thread has morphed into buying a new boat and hanging a 200 etec on it.

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Sounds like a plan to me... ;D ...

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

The motor I priced comes with the minimum gauges. The E-TEC offers gauges that hook to the same buss as my Lowrance 339. I'm just wondering if the computerized gauges are worth it. They do just about everything but for a price. I'm asking for you thoughts. Thanks Billy Mac ;D

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

If you can work it into the budget, do it. Your gonna be looking at them for how long...?

Airslot

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Mac, if the digital gauge package offers a fuel-flow monitioring feature, then it's worth it...unless you already have a fuel-flow meter ;) ...


Sounds like yer gonna gimme another woody and get an E-Tec... 8) ...

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

It does! It monitors just about everything as long as you buy the hardware. Billy Mac ;D

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

If it's in the budget, then DO IT...my friend got all the ''smart" gauges that come w/ the Verado...it's pretty cool 8) ...

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Once again, I'll repeat, your gonna be looking at them gauges every time out for many a year to come...

If you can swing it, you'll be kicking yourself everytime out if you don't so it, or, you'll spend money on gauges twice.

Then again, if it's a deal breaker, we can live without the greatest gauges. You know, needs & wants and all that stuff.

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

With the cost of a new engine, how much more is the gauge set up that you want. If your spending around 13,000 for the engine then whats another 5 or 6 hundred. Just my opinion.

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

Only two, maybe three more payments added.

And you will be the envy of MJ.

Re: V20 member with E-tec
 

...and ME too ;D ...
