Heavy loads, big water, pulling toys, go bigger. Not in a hurry, mostly light loads, go smaller and lighter.

So, if you don't mind less frequent contact with your mechanic and your gas dock attendant, go with the etec. I winter in Ft. Myers and summer in St. Joseph, Michigan. It’s now about 12 years since I’ve joined this group. I gave my 1972 whaler to my daughter and sold the 17’. Bought an O’Day 28 sailboat and sailed on Lake Michigan. Yesterday I bought a 2005 130 Sport.
