A long warranty would be nice

Any ideas or experiences with the new 4 strokes and etecs - prods and cons

Many thanks
I have a four stroke Yamaha F100 on a 20 foot Master Angler with a hydroshield skeg mounted device, plus a kicker. I am happy and get awesome economy. To the point that I have a 20 gallon tank, not a 45 gallon tank. With 2 guys in the boat, I get about 5 MPG. With 3 guys in the boat, it is closer to 4 MPG. Top sped is ~33 MPH with two in the boat, 31 with 3 guys in the boat. With the the hydroshield, the trim is great, even with a 4 stroke and a 4 stroke kicker at 376 and 56 lbs on the transom.
