I've got two major factors in considering what motor to plunk my down payment on:
#1: weight; and
#2: cost.
My wife has given me permission to spend "less than $10,000", AND I have to keep the payments under $140 per month, after a $2K down payment.
I like the new Mercury 115, and I like the Etec particularly, because if I put my money down by Easter, they're offering a 10 year limited warranty on the Etec. Still trying to negotiate with my local dealer...
