First off, let me say I'm a big Etec fan. I think they have the potential to be the best outboards out there..only time will tell. 8)

BUT, I don't understand why in all the head to head tests they compare them to four strokes. * :-/ Yes, they have fuel economy comparable to that of a four stroke and thats wonderful, but that should be where the comparisons to four strokes ends. You cant expect a four stroke Yammie, Honda, or Merc Verado to hang with the torque of an older 2 stroker, let alone a new top of the line model. The top speed, torque, and hole shots should be compared to the new TWO stroke models. * ::)


All that being said...it was still cool to watch. *8)

I think they sell the fact that they can get gas mileage, lighter weight, low noise just like the 4 stroke but with the power of a 2 stroke and thats why they test against them. Not sure why they had to pull the boat until it sank. They proved their point way before that happened.
