Wow, that conforms that my next big purchase will be an E-Tec. I can get up to 2.3 on my 100 mile trips. I was just in in the Florida Keys and saw an awful lot of really nice rigs with E-tecs hanging off the back. I have to believe overall its a very reliable engine given that environment and the year round use. If there was a problem word would spread fast down there and you wouldn't be seeing them on guide boats.
