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...

Repowered with zukidf140. This is my second season. Could not be happier. I have dealer about 30 miles away in Salem Mass.

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

spareparts: I didn't consider a yamaha because some posts I've read here and there
were not favorable(e.g. reliability, weight). However, I'll take a closer look. phester: I've been looking around for a while and I seem to recall that the e-tec was around $12k. I haven't looked recently so it might be cheaper. I did try to find a more recent price but haven't found it yet. A 140hp sounds appealing but I wonder if it would be enough during those times I have 4 250-pounder guys on board :)
