not an etecb but....

Nice motor for sure...but for $7500, I'd get the Suzuki 140 like Randle has (6 year warranty too.) I don't want to start a 2-stroke/4 stroke war, it's just the way I would go with it. Also, for $8000 you could have a new Yamaha 150 2-stroke. It depends on what the 2004 Johnson motor sells for, I guess...
