Prior to my Seacraft I had a flats boat with a 150 Honda on it. Zero low end torque - would hardly get out of the water without the trim tabs all the way down. And the weight factor made it sit stern heavy in the water, which made shallow water fishing more difficult. It was quiet and ran like a top - but nothing like a 2 cycle in the power department. I am repowering my 20 CC with a 150 ETEC at present. Several of my fishi9ng buds have ETECs and swear by them for both economical running and great power.
