PLEASE do not buy an ETEC!!!! I have a few buddies with them and they are in the shop all the time for various things. Hell you cant even clean the fuel injectors on em!!!!!
I have a Yamaha 4-stroke and a dealer that does scratch and dents if you want his info. I got a brand new 07 150hp yammy 4-stroke with full warranty shipped to my door for 9k all because the cowling had some scratches on it. Your fuel econ will go up, they are easy to work on and rarely break down. Good luck with your project!!!

Brett, I have to agree with Ssirefish. I was not going to say anything. But a very good friend of mine just repowered his Simmons Seaskiff with a 60. He has owned it for eight months and it spent five in the shop. Now how does Evinrude keep you on the water longer? His would start missing and sometimes die completely. Towed in twice. Once was the first trip out. Yes the fuel efficiency is outstanding. But they are still working bugs out. The last shop replaced the ECM and if that did not work he would be getting anotger motor. I think they finally got it fixed.
If you can afford it go with an Optimax. They seem to have gotten their bugs worked out and hardly no complaints.
