Go with the Zuke and use the extra $ you save to put trim tabs on her.

A tough decision to be sure, but the guys above have said it for me...depends on the dealer...which dealer will you want to work with over time?...which will do a better job on install...all the outboards being made today are good...it'd be more difficult to find a bad one...if it was my decision and dealers were equal, I'd slam that E-Tec on there quicker than grease thru a goose...

I am VERY pleased with my Johnzuki 140. (Johnson stickers on a Suzuki motor)

Pushes the V 40 mph, gets 5 mpg, quiet as a mouse, and......I don't pour oil everywhere when having to fill up the oil reservoir.

I went with the E-tec because of a dealer being nearby and at the time they offered an extended warranty. Many of e-tec problems are dealer errors, make sure they a reputable. Before my e-tec I had a Zuke 40 great motor no problems with it for 18years. Weight is no issue with the E-tec 150. Good Luck! Billy Mac
