edit: I removed my post about Yammies weight, I think it was off.

I'd personally hold off on the E-tec for another year or so. I've read too many issues with them. BOMB needs to work the bugs out of them. Many people have had zero issues with them and love them, but many people are having problems with them too. It's too much of a crap shoot right now. Do a search for "e-tec" on THT and you'll see what I mean. Once BMP gets the "BETA" version straight, it should be an awesome motor.

All brands of motors have issues, none are perfect. Depending on the hull, if I had to purchase a new motor right now it would be Suzuki 4s....very, very few problems that I've heard of. The only concern I would have with Suzie is Dealer/Service location, may not have a "good" one local to you

This motor debate is a no-win discussion, too many loyal followers. There are many good motors out right now from all manufactures and unfortunately will be some lemons by all.

Another great brand that most people would never consider is Tohatsu/Nissan. They're puttin out some awesome motors for smaller/lighter hulls. Max HP, I believe is 140. I have a 98 40hp on Tin, that thing is bullet proof.

All things considered, I'd find a local dealer with a great reputation that you can trust and just hope your new motor is not a lemon....then go FISHIN!
