Re: E-TEC vs Four Stroke
Couple points here as I was in a similar situation a couple years ago....
I repowered my 1983 SeaCraft with a 2003 Evinrude 225 by Bombardier. I paid particular attention to the weight of the engine, the Yammie and Honda 4 bangers had way more weight than I was comfortable hanging on the back of an old SeaCraft.
That's #1, Number 2, be sure if you decide to buy an older Evinrude Ficht, that it is built under the Bombardier ownership. From my understanding there were a lot of things at the factory that were way out of tolerance builting engines that were way out of tolerance. They went through everything and now are building a fine engine. I have 500 hours on mine and it's treated me right.
