Some have had great luck with ETec but there are others that have had horror stories!! There are a few here that have them. and they are working alright but some have had problems right out of the gate!
I have heard most problems are from Tec's that don't have there crap together and set them up wrong, this cause the power heads to blow, and a host of other issues. But once they get it right the motors have been great!
Its great that they get them straight and that Evinrude stands behind them, but I for one would rather have a motor that runs and runs then is always at the shop!
I have had Johnson, Evinrude, Yamaha 2 stroke and 4 stroke, and Mercury. I have to say I love my Yamaha's!! bought a 225 4 stroke but it was way to heavy for my boat, so I traded a friend for his 2 stroke HDPI 200, and it is a awesome motor!! I like it better then the 4 stroke and it is just as good on gas as the 4 stroke!
My 2nd best motor has been Mercury, I had a 90 3 cyl and then a 6 cyl 2.4 175, that 175 was great on gas and pushed my heavy boat great!!
