The Key West can be bought with an Etec or a Yamaha. The salesman/marina

the Key West 186 CC with the 4 stroke, Yamaha 150 is on the way.

And the reason he preferred Yamaha was that he made more money that
way.

You would have been better off with the ETEC.

While I would have asked the salesman the same question, I would assume
he was recommending the engine with the highest profit margin, and
commission.

I have no idea if there is a difference in profit margin between Etec
and Yamaha, but higher commission, perks and spiffs from a mfg'er can
make a salesman change his preferences in a heart beat.
