The e-tech's have no Scheduled maintenance for the first 3 years. No one said anything about UN-Scheduled visits to the dealer.... Why not buy the 175 Suzuki??? The weight is nearly the same so that's not a factor. I have twin 115's and oil changes cost me 4 quarts + a $6 oil filter at Autozone. And, oh yeah, plugs are $1.50 each. Oil for the Etec is about $30.00/gallon [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] and I don't even want to know how much a set of plugs are. I know Opti plugs are about $15 each!. That's just my 2c. Good luck with whatever you decide.
