Thanks for mentioning the Etec. I took a look at the website and I'll call a few dealers today. I have to be honest, part of my attraction to the Yami and Zuk are the deals on them right now. If I drive 2 hours to Mississippi I can save sales tax and the dealer can get me out the door fully installed with a prop for Suzuki F175/$13k Suzuki F200/$14,500 with a 6 year warranty and Yamaha F175/$14,500 and F200/$15,500 with 5 year warranty. The Etech on a couple websites is $14,500 just for the engine with a 3 year warranty. The Suzuki 175would only be $9k out of pocket after considering the $4k I got for my old Yami 115. Its hard to believe that I could sell a Yamaha 4 stroke for 1/2 of what it was purchased for 13 years and 500 hours ago. So not only am I considering performance, I'm also considering where I'll be in this thing if I decide to sell it in a few years.
