Think i'll stick to my 22 going fast at 5600 with my E-TEC for whatever the reason! Good deal on the comparison charts, that i could deal with! Duf

In my mind when I think about re-powering my 1966 13', I always daydream of running an Etec on my classic. Of course repowering with an Etec is a few years off.....but it's still fun to daydream about it. Cliff 1966 13' Sport with a 1993 40hp Yamaha 2 Smoker

However with me coaching TWO soccer teams this season, my weekends are full until the first weekend in November. During the Thanksgiving holiday the kids will be with their mother so I'll be free then. Take care and say hello to Trish for us. Cliff 1966 13' Sport with a 1993 40hp Yamaha 2 Smoker

By far the majority had four-stroke Yamaha's and the rest were mostly Mercs with a few Suzuki's and Honda's mixed in. Hopefully I'll have my Outrage 17 back in my hands within the next two weeks with it's new Etec 115.

Recap:- Repowered the 18 Dauntless with E-TEC 150 which took an age but that's another tale. It's so quite I wonder if it's running. I'm up to 45.5 mph with about 700lbs of adults aboard and I'll check my tach once I stop screaming into the wind. I am delighted I went the extra on the E-TEC. It's so quite flat out too. I can talk to a shipmate who is sitting in front of the motor - apart from the wind noise.

You will also be pleasently surprised on how little oil and gas it uses as well. Mine has over 300 hours on it with no issues (other then the self inflicted ones) and runs like a champ. Duf

The little flutter every time I glance her way. The sweet soft gurgling noises when she's really turned on? The countless sunsets we'll enjoy together? The crest of each wave as we whoop and laugh together. The sadness of being parted when she's being serviced once every THREE years. Ah, isn't young love grande! I'm all-a-flutter.
