etec vs 4 stroke

[eggsuckindog]

My thoughts are more in line with resale value. Although the Etec is a great motor I would think the four stroke models will give you a better resale in the event you may sell your boat. I did the 300 Suzuki only because the Honda 225 although lots of torque did not have the Horsepower when loaded up.

You also have to understand none the 4 strokes have needed some pretty expensive service work as the hours get up there, those eye popping numbers may swing the balance back a bit.
