how many of you have an evinrude e-tech? do you like them? are they really that good on gas?

i have two friends that have put 150hp on 20 and 22' boats. gas savings are everything the say, they idle down nice, one of them uses his to troll for walleye and steelies over in wheatly. they are quit and virtually smoke free. i am a mercury kind of guy, and i was quite impressed. one of them bought his from lochmans which i think is in del ray and he can not be happier with the service he got from them. an all around great experiance.

good luck

steve

I went with the max hp on my 16' Crestliner, a 40 Merc - 4 stroke. The Merc is cheaper & lighter than the E-Tech. My Merc idles down really slow for handling. I got my at Anglers Marine on Telegraph & have great service there.
