Doug,
You are truly right on the advancements in the E tec out boards while on inquest of trying to
locate a kicker in the 20 to 25 hp range came upon a small out board motor repair & sales dealer
which turned me in the direction of the E tec motors he supplied me with a CD of the technology
(impressive) & some of the pros & cons of both the 4 stroke & the E tec & as of late May U can
place a order for the lower HP from 9 to 25 HP almost ordered one till he said they wouldn’t be
receivable till late Fall than the real shocker came the price OUCH !!! With auto tilt, power
prop, hydro joy stick steering & of course TAXES out the door well over $5000 smackers & that
was for a 9.9hp like he said wait a year or so till the bass- boys work some of the hiccups out of
the new innovated product which they all have & you’ll have one hell of a motor. By the way U
may want to hang on to that old Johnson he said they’re out of business & that Evenrude took
over their E tec technology & will no long be producing Johnson’s ?? So we may have a couple
antiques that may be worth at least what we paid for them some day. BTW if anyoneis interested
in some of the E tec motor U can get the CD at your local Evenrude dealer well worth a viewing
& about 20 min. of your time NO

You'll have bad times, but they'll just wake you up to the good times you weren't paying attention to
Some people try to turn back their odometers.Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
