Thats one nice thing about the Etec's you don't have to deal with the dealer for 300 hrs - long time. Also the 100/1 oil ratio even with the expensive oil is a big plus if you run distance, at troll its ridiculous.

The new 130 Etec would seem to be a perfect fit as its 4 cyl vs V6 the same as the 115, that wasn't available say when Bush bought his. The boat could use 130 IMHO, especially if your running in swells.

The Opti's did have a pretty big issue with the compressor's, they have been re-designed recently but it was 500/600 hr range. They also had some reed issues which might be the reason for a change there too.

I roll around about all the forums and frankly Etec's appear to have the least issues of anybody 2 or 4 stroke - more telling try and find a used one, I've seen maybe 2.
