Re: E-Tec 200...423lbs...
From everything I've heard/ read, E-Tec would be my choice if buying a new OB...my Honda is GREAT...don't get me wrong...a REAL fuel sipper if ever there was one...but if the E-Tec 175 had been immediately available and CERTAINLY had the 200 small block been available, then THAT'S what would be hangin' on my transom today!!...
As far as "new technology"...really there's nothing "new" about them, except Bombardier engineered all the traditional 2-stroke problems OUT of 'em...plus the E-Tec configuration has been in testing by the military for a lot longer than the general public has been aware of it...
I got a lot of faith in Bombardier...they'll spend the money and time to get it RIGHT...do I believe EVERY SINGLE E-Tec will be perfect...NO...but it'll be as good and in most cases better than anything else currently on the market...
Won't be too soon, but I'm pretty sure there's an E-Tec in Reelapeelin's future... ;D...
