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

So,
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.

JohnH,
By the way, that is a really nice looking boat, the only problem I can see
is the transom. It is a full 25" across the entire length of the transom.
What will happen if you take a big wave over the bow, how will the water
get out if you don't have a large hole in the back?
