I do agree as I said both are building good motors I'm just partial to the Etec. My best friend is a Rude dealer and has been for 30 yrs. I was always a Merc guy because I also raced hydro's with the KG-7's and my early years I always was a Merc guy. I bought a 300 V8 Rude from Mike (he got me a deal) to replace 2-150 Mercs and I set-up a 35 Rabco with twin 300 HP open exhaust motors-I never looked back. Mike found me an 87 Rude 90 when Susan was a newby, ran so sweet for 3 yrs never did anything and that motor created a monster, she's hooked on boating- just priceless

The Etec's are realy nice motors,I think the best on the market for - sound-fuel-power-reliability-maybe not the best but the package. We have multiple forum members with them and all think their great - Bushwacker has a Seafari with a 150
