Based on what I have read here and on the manufacturers sites I would prefer
an E-Tec to power the next boat I purchase.

Having said that..........what is the future of 2 strokes? Will the E-Tec
survive future new and stricter emmisions standards for marine engines? Are
they as environmentally friendly as the 4 strokes manufactured by the other
marine outboard engine big boys?

Uh, you might want to search on some large-scale "boating" discussion
boards.


Karen? Is that you?


Tom,
So you too have noticed that HK's position concerning E-Tec and hi-tech
2 strokes, is directly related to the engine he owns. I can remember
when he thought 4 strokes were a piece of **** that added extra weight
to the rear of the boat, and really didn't have any other advantage over
the hi-tech 2 strokes. He must have made over 2000 posts directed
towards Karen discussing this in detail. I think it was basically
"Karen you don't know ****, you are an asshole, and why do you come here
quoting from other boating discussion boards when people who own them in
rec.boats all love them. .

I think he is just pimping for whatever product he owns.
