[QUOTE=randlemanboater;152554]ETEC 200 HO dry weight 524
DF140 dry weight 421
E-tec 200HO---509lbs from Evinrude.
DF 140--------421lbs pr Suzuki
For me that equals one nice halibut or 3 nice Albacore tuna(with no limit)--LOL
You do get the better fuel burn for sure--it is a give and take--as most things in life. There are alot of guides running those DF 140's up in British Columbia.
But I can open up if needed into the mid or upper 40's and still not work the motor. I do some Tuna tournaments off shore--where speed can be king sometimes. So as stated--depends on needs and wants.
