E-TEC/Mercury

[shamalex72]

I am going to be buying a new boat this spring and was planning on staying with a Mercury. But I have been talking with some people and reading some info about the E-TECS, and it sounds like they are the real deal. Does anyone have one and how do you like it. Better/worse fuel efficiency than a four stroke? How quiet? How much oil do you go through?

As of right now I am leaning towards the E-TEC, but I have been running a four stroke for 10 years and have had good luck with them. Thanks

If you work at Crestliner don't they give you some kind of a deal on a boat?

Congrads on the new boat Shamalex. One of my buddies has a 1750 Fishhawk (single console) with a F115 on it, and I've been in other Fishhawks too. They're nice boats.
