I'll probably go with the 175 etecs then. Only 60 pounds more than these 150's total. I didn't want to buy oil but there is no "cheap " when owning a boat of this age. Also buying American sounds great to me anyhow. Currently I'm getting 1.5 mpg with these 98 motors which I don't think is bad. Plus it moves pretty good when you throw in the corner. I would hope that the 175's would push it above 50 mph. Right now the boat tops out at 43. Top end is not what I'm after but outrunning a storm is always nice. I really haven't seen anything on the 2013 etec reviews but I'll save that for a later thread. Thanks everyone!
