I will consider any or all of them but there has been some comments made about the Suzuki 90's torque at mid range. On a previous post specifically on the Suzuki 90. the question of mid range torque and keeping the boat up on plane at slower speed was not addressed which leaves me suspect.
From what I have read in this thread so far, it seems the Etec. inline 90 would be a better choice over the Suzuki 90 at a comparable weight. It offers better mid range torque, and may also be under rated as to actual HP, which leaves only one question. How would the two compare in fuel efficiency ?
As I stated in my original post, my knowledge of outboards is very limited and this is going to be a substantial purchase so I just want to make sure I make the right decision and not have any regrets afterwards.
