Default Re: E-Tec 200...423lbs...

Hey guys I will tell you what I know to be true. My buddy who works for a local sporting goods store here in Mobile deals Mercury. He went to a seminar and they had a demo video on the E-Tec. All three boats were equal...except the motors. The engines were all 200hp and they were the E-Tec, Vmax, and the Optimax. Anyway he said they all started at the same place and at first throttle the E-Tec immediately jumped ahead by about 4 boat lengths. They continued acceleration for about a quarter mile and it continued to walk off and leave the rest. By the end of the "race" the E-Tec was at least a couple hundred yards ahead of all the rest. :o

He said is was an unbiased and unendorsed test and I would imagine so since his company deals Mercs ;D
