BTW, where do you keep your spare eTec on that candyflake RangeR?

Odd you should mention that.

I've been looking for a kicker engine and guess what?

Apparently Evinrude will be making ETECs in 9.9, 15 and 25 horsepower
due to popular demand.

ETECs are now becoming the defacto standard for clean burning,
efficient engine power.

Soon, four strokes will be a thing of the past.

Those who own transomless boats with four stroke engines will become a
drain on the market for real boats with real engines.


Yeah, eTecs are so popular that I've seen two on boats around here,
including the one on the cop boat. Whatever the merits of the engine, I
wouldn't touch one with a 20-foot pole. The current owner of the brand
name does not inspire my confidence.
