Just got story and photos from a writer we had covering a local
Evinrude test recently.

Two identical 22-foot C-Dory's were loaded with almost exactly the
same weight. One was powered by a totally rebuilt 1988 Evinrude
outboard, and the other with a new E-Tec.

The test: run both boats over the same course at the same time and at
the same speed with the exact same amounts of fuel to see which would
be first to run out of gas.

The E-tec ran nine miles farther than the rebuilt 1988 Evinrude,
completing a 33-mile course with some fuel left over. The 1988
Evinrude had to be refueled to complete the test.
