Matt....I was just searching thru google,and came upon this thread....I know
2 people,friends,who have been running e-tecs......I have heard very good
things about them.....So,I repowered this past summer(05),with a pair of
e-tec 250's(On a 2950 Proline)......I have about 100 hrs on them,in all
types of different running (trolling,cruising etc.)I love these
engines....they are smooth,and extremely quiet.....the only problem,was the
plugs fouled when it got cold(NE region,fall fishing)...in the colder
weather,the xd100 oil should be used .....in the manual it says it should be
set up for that oil in this region....I would highly recommend them....also
,my fuel consumption has increased dramatically....(95 Ocean
Runners,carbs)...I burn about 30%,less fuel,....and that is when I am
running it pretty to my floscan,.my mileage
would be better if I backed off a little........They have allot of
torque.....I was not a believer at first,and I guess time will really
tell.......if anyone needs any info,or any questions,please e-mail
me.......jeff
